About the building ...
Louisiana Pottery is housed in a restored Acadian style home, c.1830. The home was originally located in St. James, LA and was occupied by the Schexnayder family. There is a wonderful large front porch that many customers enjoy during their visit. Some just swing on the porch while enjoy the quiet of this laid back setting of yesteryear, and some prefer just to rock in the rocker while contemplating the day. If you are a member of the Schexnayder family who lived in this home, please feel free to visit during regular business hours, and of course -do enjoy the swing and the rocker.
Open: Tuesday - Sunday 10AM - 5PM.
