👍 The history learned from a place like this is not typically taught in public run schools. Who would know that orphan children were transferred from NY to LA? I really enjoyed all the village had to offer and even had one of the old steam engines there that pulled the old orphan trains.

👍👍 A fascinating place to stop. It’s not totally the museum you might expect to see in a major city. This is in part due to the fact it is privately owned. The odds are if it were government owned, roaming through all of the faclities would be a lot more restricted. There are a couple of buildings w...

👍👍 One of the best hidden gems in Jennings if you have kids or enjoy learning a but of history. Aside from the amazing museum they have a clubhouse inside for the kids to play. Puppets for a show, toys, coloring books etc. Truly a great place we will always continue going to. Not to mention the man beh...

During this time we were approached by the gardener who asked us if we paid our fee. We told him yes, we paid the man at the entrance of the g...

🫤 Look, if you're into that as a form of entertainment, fine. There was nothing wrong with the tour, very informative and morbidly fascinating. But I went with a friend - not my idea - and I hated it. HATED it. Standing there staring at an electric chair and wishing to God I was at home. Not for me....

Charming 1800s house with period furniture & artifacts, offering guided tours & seasonal events.

👍👍 What a wonderful surprise I randomly came across driving from Lake Charles to Baton Rouge area. Some of the work is truly remarkable and will make you appreciate all the amazing arist that have connections to Lousiana.

👍👍 This place is awesome, It's free to view but does accept donations. We had an older gentleman who gave us a tour of the museum. The gentleman made this tour amazing. His knowledge of everything was impressive and when we would ask questions who knew the answers. I recommend this place. We took a 3-y...
