Hey Insiders, this is something super new and will be posted most likely this week. Below is some information that we were sent.
Maison Freetown, Lafayette’s 1st African American neighborhood museum and cultural center is coming soon to 800 E Vermilion St. Located in the heart of Freetown, Lafayette’s historic neighborhood, this center aims to document and preserve some of Lafayette’s perhaps lesser known history which included Creole storefronts, Black entrepreneurs, Jazz music, Mardi Gras and more. The museum will be a repository for past contributions made by people of color in the community and will demonstrate how this history has influenced Lafayette today.
