ST. MARTIN PARISH




        In St. Martin Parish, learning comes alive through immersive, hands-
        on experiences rooted in culture, history, nature, and the arts.
        Students can explore NUNU Arts and Culture Collective in Arnaudville,
        where creativity meets sustainability in a space dedicated to cultural
        exchange, workshops, and artistic expression. At the St. Martinville
        Cultural Heritage Center, they’ll engage with both the African American
        Museum and the Acadian Memorial, discovering Louisiana’s diverse
        heritage. The Wall of Names, engraved with 3,000 early Acadian
        refugees, allows students to make their own name rubbings as a
        personal keepsake.

        Nearby, Longfellow-Evangeline State Historic Site offers a glimpse
        into life in the early 1800s with a guided tour of a reconstructed
        Acadian farmstead, featuring period-style buildings, outdoor
        kitchens, a bread oven, and heritage livestock.

        In Arnaudville, Atelier de la Nature inspires students to care for the
        environment through guided nature walks, eco-workshops, and
        hands-on outdoor learning. Add in swamp tours through the
        Atchafalaya Basin and visits to the Prehistoric Park—where dinosaurs
        and paleontology take center stage—and you have a field trip that’s
        both educational and unforgettable.

        Whether exploring the past or discovering the great outdoors,
        student groups will find adventure and education at every turn in
        St. Martin Parish.
