The Experience
History doesn't live in books. It lives here on this road.
Led by trained guides and cast members, you'll move through a historically significant space on Bayou Road, while expeariencing AR visuals and soundscapes that bring Black history to life exactly where it happened.
The experience culminates in a live one-man theatrical performance: FRESH TO DEATH: The Courage of Captain André Cailloux, 20 minutes of presence, power, and remembrance.
Captain Cailloux organized the first Black regiment to fight in combat for the Union Army. He gave his life for liberation. His legacy has been erased from American history books. We are reclaiming it.
