Acadian Village

Acadian Village, was created  to serve three purposes:  to preserve a piece of early Acadian heritage, to raise funds to help offset government cuts to the program, and to provide employment for LARC clients. In order to recreate a typical 1800’s Cajun village, the design team had to transform 10 acres of farmland into a shaded community with a bayou running through it. All homes show the passing of time and are remarkable examples of the ingenuity of the early Acadian homebuilders, complete with wooden pegs, mud walls, hand-hewn cypress timbers, and high-peaked roofs.
