You may have wondered what is going on at the museum these days. Recent photos show why we are unable to be open at this time, but just think of the POSSIBILITIES of how wonderful it will be once the second floor is renovated, filled with exhibits, and open to visitors!

Beautiful artwork is always a wonderful gift for the graduate, for Mothers Day, for Fathers Day -- or a treat for yourself!

Art by the late, great John Stoeckley is now available for sale through the Louisiana Area Historical Museum but while we are closed for renovations, only a limited number of prints will be available at this time. We hope to soon be open to the public so you can browse. In the meantime, send inquiries through Facebook Messenger to see what is available, the pricing, and for arranging a time for pick-up.
