ABOUT

We're excited to show our Southdown Plantation and Museum Grounds!
Entrance to the Museum is by Escorted/Guided Tour Only. Allow 1 hour for your guided tour. We recommend at least 1.5 hours for your total visit. We offer a Guided and a Written tour in French and in English. Our Gift Shop is in a separate building from the Museum and is where the Tour begins. This is the oldest structure on the property and has it's own unique story. Also, our gift shop offers a short, historical book tour as well as complimentary coffee and Cajun music for visitors to enjoy.
The restrooms are attached to the Gift Shop building and are handicap/wheelchair accessible. The first story of the Museum is also equipped with a ramp that is handicap/wheelchair accessible. There is a Photo Tour Book available for the second story. Be sure to stop by to visit our Gift Shop for a book or an area souvenir while you're in town!

We are located at 1208 Museum Dr. near LA Hwy 311 and St. Charles St (LA 664) in Houma, 60 miles southwest of New Orleans via US Hwy 90 to Exit #200.
