Opelousas Museum & Interpretive Center

Oh. My. Goodness. This museum is undergoing major updates that is updating the exhibits. The lady working was very knowledgeable and earnest in her efforts to keep up to date with new information. Evidently Opelousas was one of the safe havens for people of color and the largest population of free people of color outside of New Orleans. Very impressive. I love passionate people. I recommend this for anyone in the area.

Hidden treasure of local history. Opelousas museum a breath taking view into the historical window of a local city loaded with historical artifacts of Louisiana culture. This is a must visit that embodies an atmosphere of one of Louisiana’s most historic cites

Lovely local museum with great staff. We attended a special event on a Saturday but generally the museum is not open on the weekend.
