Extremely happy that they were able to rebuild this lighthouse, after it collapsed due to damage by hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. It took 7 years to secure the funding and rebuild it, and they have done an amazing job! This is a great place to visit, and the entire surrounding area is beautiful, too. Don't forget to visit the other lighthouses nearby, Port Pontchartrain (on the U. of New Orleans campus) and Tchefuncte River (across the lake in Madisonville).

GTN Recommended - This beautiful spot on the Lake Ponchartrain lakeshore features a replica of the old lighthouse. Inside you'll find a museum hosted by the Ponchartrain Conservancy. You'll learn the history and current issues of fisheries, shrimping, and even saltwater levels in the lake and bayous of the region. We highly recommend a tour of this small museum to gain an understanding of the region's waterways and their impact on the nation.

Amazing place. Took the self guided tour with their app. Very informative. Informative and friendly employees. There are steps up to the exhibit. No dedicated parking lot. The part that stands out in my mind is in the gift shop they have a sand box set up to show how water will flow that shifts as you change the sand. And if you hold your hand out, it will demonstrate how the rain would fall and go to low lying areas.

Wonderful spot to learn about the history of the area and a great way to give back by contributing to keeping the lighthouse alive. They are working hard to preserve the coast and its environment. The guides are very knowledgeable and passionate about the region and about their work. You will learn a lot and be wowed by the views of Lake Ponchartrain.

An educational & informative museum addressing the local water situation/issues, as well as the lighthouse. More importantly, the organization is doing great things for the area and environment.
