The Louisiana Marine Fisheries Museum, located in the fishing village of Jean Lafitte along Barataria Bay, is dedicated to showcasing the rich history and culture of the region, which has thrived for over two centuries. Originally famous as the base of the infamous pirate Jean Lafitte, the area transitioned to a community centered around fishing and trapping, emphasizing the resilience and resourcefulness of its inhabitants.

The museum features extensive exhibits that explore the shrimping, fishing, canning, and trapping industries that have shaped the lives of local residents. A newly opened facility within the town's municipal complex further highlights Lafitte's story and the vibrant culture of this unique area.
