Description
Photo taken in Port Neches, Texas. This old cajun home is located in the city park of Port Neches, TX, a small town very close to where I live. It is called the La Maison Beausoliel.
LA MAISON BEAUSOLEIL (house of Beautiful Sunshine) was named after JOSEPH DIT BEAUSOLEIL. The children of Martin Broussard and Editha Bourque, direct descendants of JOSEPH BROUSSARD DIT BEAUSOLEIL, donated LA MAISON BEAUSOLEIL to LES ACADIENS DU TEXAS.
Built around 1810 in St. Martin Parish Louisiana, this authentic Cajun architectural style home was transported via barge down the Vermilion River south to the Intercoastal Canal then west into the Neches River to the city park of Port Neches, Texas.
LES ACADIENS DU TEXAS, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the culture and language of the Acadian people, restored this home of cypress.
