Away from the Crowds in Louisiana
Louisiana, the Pelican State, has a lot of places off the beaten path to explore and enjoy. Abita Mystery House is located in Abita Springs and is an eclectic roadside attraction. It is modeled after the Tinkertown Museum in Albuquerque, NM. This folk art environment was created by John Preble in Abita Springs, a small town known for its brewery, spring water, and bike trails. The Abita Mystery House displays Louisiana folk art, thousands of found objects, miniatures galore, vintage bikes, and wacky homemade inventions. Visitors can see a replica mini Southern town, explore many other odd exhibits, and play rare old arcade games.
