We are the oldest house in the Mississippi River Valley and was built in 1757
The construction methods and material of the walls forming the original center room (1757) and eastern room (ca 1770) of the LaPointe Krebs house are unique and are the only example of this method on the Gulf Coast or anywhere else in the Colony of New France.
Please visit our website for more construction details.
The primary role of The La Pointe Krebs Museum is serve the public by informing of the rich history of the La Pointe Krebs House and of the diverse people that have inhabited this site and our surrounding area throughout history.
