Review:
Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve is made up of six sites spread throughout southern Louisiana. Each of the park’s sites has a unique emphasis, but all tell the story of the history and cultural and natural heritage of southern Louisiana. The Barataria Preserve site is a 23,000-acre wetland with an onsite visitor center featuring interactive exhibits.
The park has three sites in Acadiana: the Acadian Cultural Center, Prairie Acadian Cultural Center, and Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center. These Acadiana sites interpret and preserve significant examples of Cajun and Creole culture. The Chalmette Battlefield and National Cemetery Site and French Quarter Visitor Center in New Orleans round out the list of sites.
