While driving through Louisiana, you’re bound to come across some pretty bizarre roadside attractions and oddities. If you find yourself in the southeastern part of the Bayou State, make sure to carve out some time to check out the Chauvin Sculpture Garden, one of the most unique roadside attractions in Louisiana with a fascinating history.

Just outside of Houma in the tiny town of Chauvin sits one of the most colorful sculpture gardens you’ve ever seen.

Once you pass through the gates, you’ll be surrounded by hundreds of beautifully painted, hand-made sculptures, that are powerful, thought provoking works of art.

The sculptures are the work of Kenny Hill, who used to live on the property from 1988 until 2000 when he was evicted for not keeping the grass on his property maintained.

During the time he lived there, he began a “story of salvation” of sorts, creating hundreds of sculptures and statues. Today, the garden is maintained by Nicholls State University, who makes sure these brilliant works of art can be admired for years to come.

Many of the sculptures have religious and good vs. evil themes. Hill put himself in a couple of statues, so keep an eye out for those.

The lighthouse is one of the most impressive sculptures at the garden. Composed of 7,000 bricks, with countless sculptures adorning the sides, it’s truly quite the accomplishment.
