The Bayou Lafourche Folklife and Heritage Museum, located at 110 Main Street in Lockport, is excited to announce its grand reopening on July 13. After 30 years of service, the museum’s operations were forced to pause during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, but now the doors will once again open to visitors and residents.

The museum will also debut a new temporary exhibit featuring the history of the Holy Savior School and Church.

The public is invited to attend the official grand reopening festivities, listed below.
