Welcome to The Golden Meadow Library Historical Center!

Our Mission

The Golden Meadow Library Historical Center is a collection of artifacts and memorabilia of life in Golden Meadow and the Bayou Lafourche region.

Our mission is to educate the public on the value of our local history and inform the younger generations of their ancestors' contributions and their lives, work, and play.

The purpose of the Historical Center is to research, collect, preserve, and present, as an educational resource, the books, papers, photographs, documents, and artifacts, that reflect the social, cultural, educational, and economic history of Golden Meadow and the surrounding area.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our site and that you visit us in person. We'd love to see you.
