The Thibodeaux House is constructed of cypress, the "wood eternal," that is rot and insect resistant. Each pre-cut beam and post is marked with Roman numerals for ease in assembling. The house dates to  1820 and came to the Village from the Breaux Bridge, Louisiana.

The small, rear "cabinet" room, the daughter's room, is accessible only through the parent's room. The boys slept in the attic/loft or "garconnier," reached by way of an outside staircase.
