The storekeeper is a retired history professor and is very knowledgeable about local history. I purchased his memoirs and had some very candid conversation with him in regards to the plantation and slave quarters surrounding this delightful old store. I purchased some unique locally made souveniors.

I was greeted, asked to sign the guest registry and told they accept donations and told to walk around. They are cash only, which I was reminded of several times while here. I was also informed many times (I stopped counting at 5) that they were having a meeting, but I should sign the guest registry, make a donation and walk around and just pretend they weren't there. It was funny the first few times. After I stopped counting, I shoved $1 in the donation bin and left. Super cute place. Signs all over that it is a museum, don't touch, and items had price tags. Not all items had price tags. There was just so much going on here, item wise and people wise. I walked around some outside and it was all very lovely.

Like many places, they have a good discount on bowling during the weekdays and daytime hours. The video game room here is tiny, with only about 12 or so games.

Located along the banks of Bayou Petit Caillou that's dotted with shrimp boats and fish camps, these brightly painted sculptures mark an era that's filled with mystery especially the sudden disappearance of the creator - I'm really surprised the artist never capitalize on his years of work. It's a free exhibit in a very small park like setting. The highlight for me is definitely the "lighthouse" which looks more like a chimney once you walk inside the small opening and look up. If you're in the area or even if you need to drive a little out of your way it's worth paying this site a visit, it's free, strange and pretty cool...

There are many of the areas, or sections, of the sculpture garden that are intertwined. I'm not clear about the connection of each, or the story of how one might or might not relate to the next. I suspect the relationship of the various sculptures to one another is part of the mystery and intrigue of this artist and his whimsical yet life like and most colorful artwork. This is a pleasing place, cozy and comfortable. Located along the bayou with the water - and an occasional shrimp boat - easing by as if no one even noticed this art oasis. That's probably because many pass by on water or on the highway without noticing. For those who who do notice, and do stop, this will be a worthwhile and unique experience.

A visit to Morgan City will provide you with an unforgettable experience, entrenched in the oil and…read moreseafood industries it easy to see the impact these industries have had on the people that live and work here. Located just off the banks of the Atchafalaya River this a place where man has learned to co-exist with Mother Nature the city is about seven below sea level in many areas and flooding has been a part of living next to such a mighty river that is a strategic part of a major flood control network. The four flood-walls in the Morgan City area were constructed of steel sheet pilings driven to an average depth of -70 feet.  The above ground portions were capped with concrete.  Gates in the flood-walls will normally remain open to accommodate vehicular and pedestrian traffic, but will be closed when floods threaten the area. There aren't many places you can travel in and around the city where these giant walls aren't visible which shows the extent of the flooding risk. But don't let your focus on the flood wall sway you from enjoying everything Morgan City has to offer the culture and food is in abundance around every corner and down every street, one thing to note is how many of the neighborhoods are named and dated on signs as you transition throughout the city which shows how this city was developed, this is still a small town with a population of just over 12,000 residents and is filled with architecture that rivals many cities so doing a driving tour will reveal some surprises that you won't want to miss...

I recommend anyone looking for things to do in the area as a spot to stop in and look at. There are several great restaurants in the area.
