» The Center for Traditional Louisiana Boat Building (202 Main St., Lockport; nicholls.edu/boat; 985-532-5106) is a surprising find in the small town of Lockport. It details the legacy of boat building, from the flat-bottomed boats used to navigate the bayous to the modern shrimping trawlers.

» The River Road African-American Museum (406 Charles St., Donaldsonville; africanamericanmuseum.org; 225-474-5553) provides a look into the African-Americans who lived in rural areas from slavery to the present. Exhibits include influences on cuisine, history of jazz, and black folk artists.

» Get outside of south Louisiana’s cities to truly experience the region and visit the waterways that make it so unique. Paddle through the Spanish moss–draped Cypress swamps in Bayou Teche (1725 Willow St., Franklin; fws.gov/refuge/bayou_teche; 337-828-0061) and Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuges(61389 Hwy. 434, Lacombe; fws.gov/refuge/Bayou_Sauvage; 985-882-2000), where you’ll see countless species of birds, alligators, and, if you’re lucky, the Louisiana black bear. And if you can get to remote Grand Isle State Park (108 Admiral Craik Dr., Grand Isle; crt.state.la.us/louisiana-state-parks/parks/grand-isle-state-park/index; 985-787-2559), you won’t soon forget the stunning beaches, deep sea fishing, and birding.
