You don't need to build yourself a time machine to take a leap into the past — just head to Vermilionville Historic Village. This relic of yesteryear lets you walk through history and find out what life was like all those years ago.
This open-air museum is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Lafayette. But Vermilionville Historic Village isn't the only drawcard here. University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Cajundome, and CIty Club at River Ranch are some other recommended attractions nearby.
