Lafayette Audio Tour: Echoes and Eaves of Arbolada’s Past
A bell tolls from the heart of Lafayette as Spanish moss stirs secrets above grand facades and iron gates. Beneath the city’s southern charm lurk struggles for redemption and tales of power almost lost to time. This self-guided audio tour takes you past cathedral spires, beneath oaks of Arbolada Addition, and behind the barred walls of downtown’s correctional center. Find stories hidden in plain sight with each step, hearing echoes most visitors never could. Why did an angry mob once gather on the very steps of St. John's Cathedral? What silent secrets linger behind the walls of the Alexandre Mouton House? And how did one routine breakfast at the parish jail spiral into citywide uproar? Trace political feuds, age-old mysteries, and moments of scandal as you walk—from sunlit avenues to shadowed corners—seeing Lafayette’s true spirit unfold before your eyes. Dare to look past the surface. Begin the story behind the bell.
