Supporting neighbors at LARC's Acadian Village
On the outskirts of the city of Lafayette, you’ll find LARC’s Acadian Village. LARC is a nonprofit with 50 years of experience helping people with developmental disabilities and their families through residential, vocational and community support services. All the proceeds from the village go to the organization. And the village itself is worth an afternoon out even without a worthy cause. There are a dozen homes throughout the site representing Acadian, or Cajun, lifestyles over the past few centuries. The oldest was begun in 1800 and had an addition put on in 1840. Exhibits in the homes include looms, blankets, spinning wheels, and more while there are larger displays on Cajun music and blacksmithing tools.Traveling north through the parish, you’ll come to Farm d’Allie Golf Club. This 18-hole championship course was designed by Jeffery D. Blume and occupies 215 acres. Located on bottomland, or the former riverbed of the Mississippi River, the course was once used as a cotton field, cattle ranch, and horse-riding area, so “farm” was a natural name for the course. Opened in 2000, the course has a driving range and welcomes golfers of all ages and skill levels.
