Louisiana Myths & Legends Byway - Allen, Beauregard & Vernon Parishes

Allen Parish Cultural Itinerary

Allen Parish Cultural Center
TIME: 1 Hour

The Allen Parish Cultural Center will let you Step into Cajun Country! Take a walk through a swamp outside, but inside: experience the smells, sights and sounds deep in the swamp. Our ghostly Cajun will tell you about life in the swamp and show you where recipe cards are so you can cook real Cajun food. Punch a number to play a record on our vintage jukebox and do the Cajun Two-Step around the dance floor. Strap on the scrub board or grab the accordion and take a picture with our Cajun Band. Spend some time in the Coushatta Heritage exhibit and the Military exhibit and see how Allen Parish honors its veterans on the Wall of Honor.
