To learn about and see how things were done back in the old days when the Acadians came down from Nova Scotia this is the place to go. VermillionVille is a living museum with artisans in the houses showing the way of life in 17-1800's in south Louisiana. There is also a restaurant on site serving great Cajun food at a good price.

Cold January morning. I saw four people total. Didn't mind particularly. It was 16$ for my daughter and I to walk around a ghost town. Interesting, beautiful at times, friendly staff (50% of the people I saw) but many buildings closed. Washroom at the end of the village. Weaver-woman was born here and was all too happy to spill the real-deal about Lafayette present and past. Acadian Cultural Centre (free) across the street was closed for renovation, so this was a reasonable way to spend an hour. There is a restaurant here offering a cajun table-d'hote for $9.95! If there had been more people around, we would have partaken. In truth, it was thoughtful and genuine.

A collection of buildings from the Acadian settlement set on a bayou. People in period clothing are on hand to explain the customs of the time and answer questions.

Wow! If you like history and culture, you'll absolutely love this place! I was a little luke warm about going, but my sweet little wife convinced me (even though I am a history buff and love to learn as we travel). I am so glad we went.The displays are awesome, with lots of historical artifacts from the area and the artisans were pretty awesome also! What a great learning and entertainment experience. I was very pleased with the price they charge for entry as well. The $10.00 charge was reasonable. I highly recommend a stop here to relax and reflect! The grounds are amazing!!The restaurant on site was very good and convenient!

Vermilionville is a very nice open air historic Acadian village. It's not too big so you can easily walk through the whole village and visit all the houses. Most of them have people in them in period clothing who can provide a lot of information on the history of the place.We were there on a Sunday and were very lucky to see a great Zydeco band perform there. A lot of locals come here to meet up and dance.The food in the cafeteria wasn't great, but it was convenient as there aren't a lot of places to eat nearby so by eating there we could stay a little bit longer in the park.

In this place you can recreate as people lived in Lafayette, early XIX century. There is also a cafe where you can try cajun food.

Lots of history here. We took a guided tour though some of the buildings. All of the guides and craft persons were very knowledgable. Movies in the theater were worth seeng especially if you are not from the area.

If you are into culture, do this. If you don't care about history or culture, blow it off. For me, I loved it and got to speak with artisans about things I care about.

We visited during a sunday afternoon, and had time to look around the village which is really interesting with excellent exhibits. The added bonus was that Chubby Carrier was playing the pavillion during the afternoon, and the place was full of people dancing to great music in a family atmosphere.We were welcomed as if old friends, and just joined in. They have music on most sundays, so make it a must do on your visit to Lafayette.

Thoroughly enjoyed the restored structures and the well-informed volunteers, all of whom were Acadians and most willing to talk and answer your questions. Visited during Mardi Gras so we got to see an Acadian version of the parade, which is unlike the extravagance of New Orleans. Learned a lot about the culture.
