“Alexandre Mouton House has a rich narrative that makes it a treasured piece of Lafayette's history. The Museum is also called the Lafayette Museum. The home was constructed circa 1800 by Jean Mouton, who was one of the first immigrants of Southwest Louisiana. The Alexandre Mouton House is home to various treasured artifacts with their own stories. The home stores period furnishings, historical and cultural memorabilia, Mardi Gras costumes, and other art and special collections. Near 1825, his son, Alexandre, lived here.
