Shadows-On-The-Teche

A property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Shadows-On-The-Teche is an antebellum home visited by more than 25,000 people annually. Constructed between 1831 and 1834 by sugar planter David Weeks, our home is a tangible link to the past, representing over 150 years of history, stories about people and events about life.

Preserving a “picture of the life” is part of our mission at Shadows-On-The-Teche, a Southern plantation home and gardens on the banks of beautiful Bayou Teche. We’ve gathered on-site the collections of more than 17,000 family papers from four generations to present this authentic portrait.

Daily guided tours from 9 am to 4:30 pm, closed Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Day, Shadows-On-The-Teche offers group rates with advance reservation. Special events include exhibits and Civil War re-enactments. Please contact us for details.
