Located on the banks of Bayou Teche in a circa 1902 cypress home, Jeanerette Bicentennial Park and Museum offers a pictorial history of the Louisiana's 200 year old sugar cane industry, which is on permanent loan from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Visitors can also view mid-19th century cypress patterns, turn of the century furniture, working antique sugar mill and early-mechanized cane-harvesting equipment, and over 40 native specimens of natural wildlife. The original gravesite of Nicholas Provost, founder of Jeanerette, is located on the museum grounds.
