The vibes at Maison Creole de Freetown are divinely ancestral, connecting Louisiana Creoles to their culture. Time slows down and Creoles from various walks of life commune, exchange ideas, and learn their heritage languages. In 2022, founder, curator, and tour guide, Erica Melancon-Fox opened the museum in the heart of Lafayette’s historical Freetown community. Maison Freetown is also a member of the Association of African American Museums.
