ADVENTURE
e CAJUN COAST!
Wedell-Williams Aviation & Cypress Sawmill Museum
New Orleans, Baton Rouge or Lafayette.
Stay a weekend or spend a week—you’ll
find we’re a great location to call home
while you explore South Louisiana.
The past and present have contributed
to a fascinating cultural mix on the Cajun
Coast. The blending of French, Spanish,
English, African, Native American and
Cajun traditions have created a rich
and flavorful gumbo of food, music, art
and history.
With a population of over 53,000
and 700 square miles of land, St. Mary
Parish, the Cajun Coast of Louisiana,
is located in the Bayou Teche region of
Cajun Country midway between New
Orleans and Lafayette via Hwy. 90. Its
five municipalities include Morgan City,
Franklin, Berwick, Baldwin, Patterson and
the Sovereign Nation of the Chiti macha.
Agriculture, seafood and fabrication—
particularly for the oil industry—are our
economic lifeblood.
On the Cajun Coast, we’re always
eager to meet new friends and share
our history, heritage and natural beauty.
We encourage you to fill your plate and
sample everything we have to offer. Come
to the Cajun Coast and immerse yourself
in what National Geographic called this
“hauntingly beautiful land” for a taste of
the real Louisiana.
