Downtown Lafayette Historic District

The courthouse square anchors this architectural treasure trove where converted 19th-century buildings now house art galleries showcasing local talent. History buffs can explore intimate courtyards and covered walkways that tell stories of the past through every brick and decorative cornice. Farm-to-table restaurants in restored Victorian buildings serve up elevated Midwest cuisine while historic taverns pour craft beers. Most attractions sit within easy walking distance of each other, and boutique bed & breakfasts in converted homes offer charming overnight stays with authentic period details.
