Jeanerette Museum — Attraction in Jeanerette

Better experience than expected. The hours have been so limited at this place since COVID but we finally caught them open. Poor little Jennerette, the town used to be a happening place many years ago and there are some beautiful old homes dating from the 1830s but so many have fallen on tough times. So sad. I was even hesitant to enter but it was a full and educational experience. We have been fascinated by the sugar cane culture here and this filled in our education. We were fortunate to have a local historian on duty who took us room by room and explained the history which made it a different experience than it would have otherwise been. There is a 15 min video explaining the history of sugar production. There are many old historial item laying about and some interesting military history which appealed to me have served active duty. If you like history and like to understand the development of local culture, add this...

Such a wonderful place with rich history of Jeanerette and the sugar cane history. These ladies know what they are talking about in their tour. They should charge more than $3. I would have paid $10. They still need more artifacts like an old ice chest if anyone...

I really love.going there it is so beautiful, and the people that work there are so nice. The area is very quiet and nice lots of parking and it does have wheelchair accessible parking...
