The Alexandre Mouton House, a beautiful antebellum home. The original structure was built in the early 1800's as the Sunday House of the city of Vermilionville's founder, Jean Mouton. The home later belonged to Jean's son, Alexandre, who was the first Democratic governor of Louisiana. The home is now a museum with many antiques, paintings and a fine collection of Mardi Gras costumes.
