About Audubon State Historic Site

John James Audubon spent the summer of 1821 at this property, working as an artist and naturalist during his time here. The site preserves that connection to his work rather than presenting a wildlife refuge built in his honor. It sits between the towns of St. Francisville and Jackson, marking the ground where Audubon carried out his observations and paintings that summer.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Contact the state park agency before you go.
