Abita Springs is a picturesque little town in St. Tammany Parish that’s ideal for a fun day trip. Not only does the Tammany Trace run right through it, but the town is home to several scrumptious restaurants, like the Abita Springs Cafe and the Abita Brew Pub, home to Louisiana’s favorite beer. Abita Springs is also home to what might just be the most unique museum in Louisiana, and it’s certainly one you’ll never forget.
When it comes to museums in Louisiana, you won’t find one quite like the Abita Mystery House.
