The Louisiana Great River Road Interpretive Center and Museum

Located on the grounds of the historic Houmas House estate and gardens, the Great River Road Interpretive Center and Museum educates visitors about the history and influence the lower Mississippi River had on transportation, commerce, music and the folklore of river live. Designed to appear like a Mississippi River steamboat, the 35,000-square-foot museum features educational exhibits and artifacts that tell the story of the lower Mississippi River. Don’t miss the Mississippi River overlook, which can be reached via a pedestrian bridge over the Great River Road.
