The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes shrine was originally erected in 1941 in memory of the pioneer families of New Iberia and re-dedicated in 1967 to the Veterans of Foreign Wars from New Iberia who died in the service of their country. In 1996 the grotto was restored by a dedicated group of community volunteers whose hard work was honored by the National Make A Difference Foundation.
