Welcome to Abbeville Cultural and Historical Alliance

The Acadian Centre Acadien exhibit features photographs and displays chronicling the saga of Le Grand Deranagement, the expulsion of Acadien families from Nova Scotia in 1755, many of whom settled in Louisiana. This exhibit is in English and French. The Acadian Centre Acadien offers a French Immersion Scholarship to study abroad at University of Sainte-Anne, Nova Scotia, Canada.

At the beginning of November, Abbeville celebrates our

French heritage with the cooking of the Giant Omelette that contains over 5,000 eggs. View photographs, paintings and other memorabilia on Abbeville's Giant Omelette Celebration,

as well as the other French-speaking countries around the word that are part of the Confrerie.

The Vermilion Arts Council's mission is to "Engage, Enrich, Experience the Arts in Vermilion Parish”. Local artists are

invited to exhibit their artistic expressions in rotating art

exhibits that also includes a “Meet the Artist” reception. 

The VAC sponsors other art activities and arts education programs. To learn more about upcoming events and opportunities, visit our Facebook page. 

On display are historical photographs, information and artifacts on the history of Vermilion Parish, including the Morgan Effigy. This unique artifact is a carved deer antler found in a Native American Indian mound located in Pecan Island. It is believed to be from the Coles Creek period (circa 970 AD).
