Lacombe School, built in 1913 in Lacombe, Louisiana as a one-story two-room schoolhouse, was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1] It was then the Lacombe Museum.[2] It is now known as the Bayou Lacombe Museum.[3]

It is a "plain" building with a tin hipped roof. It served as the community's only elementary school from 1913 until "well past World War II".[2] Through 1990 the beaded board interior appeared to have retained its historic appearance, although some wall surfaces were obscured by museum exhibit boards.[2]

It is located on property of the current Lacombe Junior High School, and is linked to that by a covered walkway.[2]

The schoolhouse/museum is accessible by a handicapped-access ramp.[4]

There exists a different "Lacombe Museum" in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada.
