los islenos museum

My local Red Hat group had a delightful day. Our docent guide was steeped in the Islenos culture and the parish which opened our eyes to their place in American as well as local history. The exhibits were descriptive and would be valuable even as a self-guided tour. We had a great view of life at this end of the world and their contributions small and large to our area's culture.The fiesta in March is fabulous but a visit to the museums is well worth the drive down in the parish.

One of the most unique festivals in New Orleans is the Islenos Festival in St. Bernard Parish in the spring. The food is delicious, as is the wine. The traditional dancing and costumes of the Canary Islands are not to be missed either. A hidden gem at the end of St. Bernard

Awesome place to visit if you are into history and what it was like when people first settled America. The museum is understaffed as far as volunteers go but they try to do the best that they can. I night recommend the fiesta in March.

I have never seen this place open. I have never seen anyone there either
