“2022 was a very productive year for the Bayou Teche Museum allowing us to make a lot of headway on transforming the adjacent Donald “Doc” Voorhies Wing and completing the design of the Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco Exhibit,” according to a prepared statement. “The progress continues and we will maintain this growth and expansion thanks to the support of our generous community.”
