There will be an arts and crafts show at “The Shadows” national monument in New Iberia on March 3, 2009. This is awesome opportunity to get your shopping and your local history lesson, all in one day. The Plantation home that was built between 1831 and 1834 is perfectly restored to life as it was in the 19th century.

The Shadows-on-the-Teche is an antebellum historic house museum property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. We are dedicated to telling the story of life on a nineteenth-century southern Louisiana plantation–and we do so annually to over 25,000 people from around the world. We are located in the lush semi-tropical city of New Iberia, Louisiana, set among towering live oak trees, draped with Spanish moss swaying in the breeze off the Bayou Teche, bathed by the sunlight as it gently shines across the trees casting shadows on the house and the flowing muddy waters of the bayou.
