Music fans, you’ll want to include a tour of the KBON radio station during your visit to Eunice, Louisiana. The station first went on air in 1997 with the purpose of promoting the local music culture. In fact, the station’s original owner, Paul Marx (now deceased), was inducted into The Louisiana Hall of Fame in 1996 for his preservation efforts of Louisiana music. Today, 101.1 FM is a variety music station that highlights Cajun, zydeco, and swamp pop artists and plays a variety of other music genres. During your visit, check out the wall with signatures of local legends. Many of these legends are honored at the Le Cajun Music Awards, held annually in August. You can also see them play on stage, just down the road, on a Saturday night at the Liberty Theater.

Tours of the station are available.

Eunice Depot Museum

2022-06-10T11:06:01-05:00

The Eunice Depot Museum is housed in the old train depot from which C.C. Duson sold the first land sites in 1894 for the town named after his wife, Eunice. Restored in 1984, the building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and contains exhibits and collections depicting the lifestyles of the early settlers of this Cajun prairie town. The museum is a time capsule of items such as clothing, tools, toys and antique items that you may not even recognize. The Courir de Mardi Gras exhibit gives a brief history of the unique rituals that take place and colorful clothing that is worn by revelers during the carnival season.

The museum is located in downtown Eunice, Louisiana, right next to the Cajun French Music Hall of Fame & Museum and walking distance from shops and the Jean Lafitte National Park Prairie Acadian Cultural Center. A statue of Clovis Crawfish stands out front celebrating the famous children’s stories of Eunice resident, Mary Alice Fontenot.

If you’re wondering where in Eunice or St. Landry Parish that you should head next, the Eunice Chamber of Commerce, located just next door, doubles as a tourist information center. They are open Monday-Friday from 9am-3pm, or you can call them at 337-457-2565.

Cajun Prairie Habitat Restoration Site

2022-02-17T16:00:42-06:00

The Cajun Prairie Habitat is a beautiful 10-acre living exhibit of Louisiana native plants, flowers, and grasses in Eunice. This restored prairie is a project of the Cajun Prairie Habitat Preservation Society (501c3) whose goal is to ensure the survival of prairie flora. Southwest Louisiana’s Cajun Prairie once occupied 2.5 million acres and is now reduced to less than 150 acres of land. In 1988, Society volunteers used local seeds to cultivate the new prairie site and today it is touted as one of the United States’ leading restoration sites with more than 100 flora species.

Visitors can make an appointment to take a guided tour of the habitat or explore on their own, enjoying the paved walking path, covered pavilion, and benches. Every year the Cajun Prairie Habitat Preservation Society offers a guided tour in the spring and again in the fall during their meetings. The public is welcome to join and meet experts in the field including Dr. Malcolm Vidrine and Dr. Charles Allen, an esteemed author and botanist. These tours also include a special guest speaker and different topics of interest to gardeners.

The Society was named the 2013 Conservation Organization of the Year in the Annual Governor’s Conservation Achievement Recognition Program conducted by the Louisiana Wildlife Federation.
