About Los Isleños Museum Complex

Los Isleños Museum Complex, also called Los Isleños Museum and Historic Village, sits in St. Bernard Parish and holds nine structures. The grounds include bilingual signage about each historic building, a Houma Native American interpretive area, a marker recognizing the Filipino presence in Louisiana, and a nature trail. The site is run by the parish government together with the Los Isleños Heritage and Cultural Society, which was founded in 1976 to keep alive the language and traditions of the Canary Islanders who settled the area between 1778 and 1783. Guided tours need an appointment, while the grounds can be walked on your own.
