Old Opelousas

The area around the Court House Square is a National Historic District. Visitors can walk on old brick sidewalks dating back to 1838, and some homes date from before the Civil War. For a guided tour of the city, pick up a map at the Opelousas Tourist Center (located in the Jim Bowie Museum) or contact the center at 1-800-424-5442. During early April until the end of May, musical groups perform downtown every Friday starting about 5:30 p.m.
