Abita Mystery House, Abita Springs, Louisiana

The Abita Mystery House, located in Abita Springs, Louisiana, is an absolute MUST SEE if you love funky, kitschy stuff as much as I do.  I was in there for a really, really long time because it's huge and there is so much to see and take pics of.  Poor Russell finally came looking for me after I was gone a good hour or more!  

There are loads of rooms packed to the rafters with all kinds of cool stuff.  Signs, paint by numbers, bottles, trinkets, toys, etc. 

A lot of the displays are interactive when you press a button on the display.  The figures move around and so forth.

The proprietor has made a ton of those hand painted, and rather amusing, signs you see here and there.

Like this one! 

Interactive New Orleans funeral.  The crypt on the left opened to reveal the skeleton while others danced and the musicians moved.

This one was one of my faves.  That's a tornado that spins and the other items move around and get caught in the storm.  There's even a trailer that has the whole wall lift off! 

The Shard House is made of tens of thousands of bits of glass and pottery.  

One of the many hybrid 'animals'.  

Bathroom of the Shard House.

Giant 'Bassigator'

The famous 'Thirty Two Foot Alligator'.....with 32 feet.  

I could've made 3 separate posts of all my pics but this is the gist.  Go see the Abita Mystery House.  You won't regret it.  It's only a few miles from Covington and not all that far from NOLA.
