Vermilionville Living History Museum and Folklife Park opened in 1990 with a mission of preserving the Acadian, Creole, and Native American way of life in the Attakapas region between 1765-1890. It now welcomes and teaches more than 50.000 visitors per year about this piece of history. It rests in a beautiful area along Bayou Vermilion extending 23 acres.
