A Look Into Our Collection

In the spirit of giving, we would like to share with you a Roast Turkey recipe from the museum's collection!

This recipe is featured in Magic Chef Cooking , a cookbook by the American Stove Company, published in 1936.

The book is currently on display in our permanent exhibit.

Louis "Dick" Roussel, a native of Plaquemine, LA and resident of New Orleans, LA, has gifted the museum his original oil painting of Belle Grove plantation. The painting is meant to reflect the height of the social season and the home's popularity. Roussel is a retired architectural designer and is also donating his time and skills to the museum as we redesign our permanent exhibition space.

Meet our new Director/Curator, Meghan Sylvester.

Sylvester began working for the museum in the beginning of October and has plans to enhance the museum's historical interpretation. She is a native of Ville Platte, LA and received her masters in history from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2017.

Give the gift of service this holiday season by volunteering with the Iberville Museum.

We have several projects currently underway, including decorating for the holiday season and reorganizing our storage spaces.
