Maritime Museum Louisiana
Our Mission is “Bringing Louisiana’s Maritime History to Life” We accomplish this through exhibits, publications, boat building, hands on field trips, camps to construct underwater robotics and restoration of our Tchefuncte River Lighthouse. Our premier event and main fundraiser each year is the Wooden Boat Festival.
