Louisiana State University Rural Life Museum

This is an amazing museum with the best collection of architecture and artifacts from Louisiana that I’ve ever seen. We used the pre-recorded walking tour, which was excellent and we learned a lot of history of the area and what life was like for people over the centuries. The section on both slavery and slaveowners in the museum was thoughtful, respectful and honest, clearly representing what it was like to live in this area at the time. The museum’s commitment to preserving the past is commendable and a great example to others. I was very impressed and would recommend this to anyone interested in the history of Louisiana.

20/10. 100% recommend. And please at least you need 2 to 3 hrs if you want to see all the amazing things they have. Basically, it's a small fee to get there. But worthed

This is absolutely a must-see Museum and grounds for anyone interested in history. Large indoor space displaying an enormous amount of items regarding rural life in Louisiana. Many large displays of carriages and hearses. The outer grounds are acres Aurora buildings barns outhouses homes that were brought onto this museum's property to display a real life example of what rural life living was like. As a senior, the entry fee was $11. Worth every penny. Unfortunately, a simple map layout is all you are given, some sort of guided tour pamphlet or if we wanted to hit the ball out of the park, an audio tour for the areas that you go through. There is no reason that these items should not be available in a museum of this stature.

This place is amazing! There is so much to see and experience. Truly one of the best museums I have ever been to and I've been to A LOT. Interesting for all ages. Set aside 2 to 3 hours. You will not be disappointed!

Always a nice facility to visit. Nice little museum in the front to wonder through with lots of Louisiana historic artifacts. Numerous events here throughout the year.

Such a fun, chill experience for the family. So much history and culture explained. I would give it 5 stars but many of the structures were locked; I’d have loved to have been able to go in them and look around!

Great museum. There is so much history and artifacts to explore. I highly recommended visiting this museum.

We go annually to the LSU Burton corn maze & Christmas lights. Both are wonderful family outings with loads of fun for all ages. Corn maze has pumpkin patch, petting zoo, hay rides, etc. Christmas lights are extraordinary. You can also buy items to make s'mores on their fire pits. Great family time & wonderful tradition
