A mural entitled "The Arrival of the Acadians in Louisiana" by Robert Dafford, that depicts documented Acadian refugees who arrived in Louisiana from about 1764 to 1788 and who settled in different parts of the state. This mural is twinned with one in Nantes, France, also painted by Robert Dafford, which depicts the departure of Louisiana-bound Acadians from the port of Nantes in 1785.

This project is dedicated to those depicted in the mural.
