Earl Arboneaux's "Louisiana Rural Life"

Ten different flags have flown over Louisiana, and a wide variety of peoples have settled here. Indians, French, Spanish, Anglo-American, Germans, Africans, and Acadians have all made significant contributions to Louisiana's rich cultural heritage.

Largely forgotten by the 20th century, the lifestyles and cultures of these preindustrial Louisianians are recalled at the LSU Rural Life Museum. Through its extensive collection of tools, utensils, furniture, and farming equipment, the museum preserves and interprets an important part of the state's and nation's rural heritage. The museum also serves as a research facility for LSU students engaged in heritage conservation studies.

The Rural Life Museum is located on the Burden Research Plantation, a 450 acre agricultural research experiment station owned by the LSU Agricultural Center.
