Welcome
to the museum.
Whether you're a local or a visitor to the area, we'd like to welcome you to Lockport and to the Bayou Lafourche region of Southeastern Louisiana.
Located in the heart of Lockport, Louisiana, the Bayou Lafourche Folklife & Heritage Museum is a non-profit organization which exists to preserve, promote, and interpret the human history, cultural heritage, natural history, arts, and folkways of the Bayou Lafourche region.
Our all-volunteer staff has established an interactive, three-dimensional exhibit entitled Bayou Excursion: 1910 to interpret life along Bayou Lafourche—the "Longest Main Street in the World."
Hours
Tuesday & Thursday
10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
*Last tour at 3:00 p.m.
*Other days/times available by appointment.
The Bayou Lafourche Folklife & Heritage Museum gratefully acknowledges the awarding of the 2025 Louisiana Cultural Care Fund Grant (LCCF2025) to the Museum. Proceeds from this grant have been used to address plumbing maintenance and utility costs within our aging building.
Funding for these grants has been provided by the State of Louisiana and administered by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities.
