There’s A Found Objects Museum In Louisiana And It’s Full Of Fascinating Oddities, Artifacts, And More

Abita Springs is a picturesque little town in St. Tammany Parish that’s ideal for a fun day trip. Not only does the Tammany Trace run right through it, but the town is home to several scrumptious restaurants, like the Abita Springs Cafe and the Abita Brew Pub, home to Louisiana's favorite beer. Abita Springs is also home to what might just be the most unique museum in Louisiana, and it's certainly one you'll never forget.

When it comes to museums in Louisiana, you won’t find one quite like the Abita Mystery House.

This funky little roadside attraction is home to thousands and thousands of found objects, interesting collections, and handmade items.

It's a great place for families with kids of all ages, so bring the whole crew!

Inspired by the Tinkertown Museum in New Mexico, owner Jon Preble has dedicated many years to collecting everything you’ll see at the museum.

You know what they say: one man's trash is another man's treasure!

The museum may be small, but trust us—it’s chock full of stuff. Take your time checking out everything on the walls, in the corners, and beyond…

From bottle collections...

...to vintage arcade games, you never know what you'll stumble across here.

You might even have an extraterrestrial experience!

Ok, probably not... but the displays sure do make for a fun photo opportunity!

Quirky and colorful, one thing is for sure: you're never going to forget a visit to the Abita Mystery House.

The Abita Mystery House is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
