Abita Mystery House, Folk art museum in Abita Springs, United States

The Abita Mystery House is a museum housed in a converted gas station that displays thousands of found objects, handmade inventions, and interactive exhibits throughout its space. The interior combines various folk art creations and curiosities arranged across multiple rooms for visitors to explore.

Artist and inventor John Preble built the attraction, inspired by the Tinkertown Museum in New Mexico. It was called the UCM Museum ("you-see-em") until its official name change in 2007. The site grew from a vintage gas station with old filling pumps into open-air sections, a main exhibition hall, a ninety-year-old Creole cottage and the House of Shards.

The collection displays miniature scenes of Southern life, including a jazz funeral display and traditional Creole cottage architecture. These handmade pieces reflect local customs and folk traditions that visitors can observe and explore throughout the space.

The route is self-guided and begins at a vintage gas station with old filling pumps, then continues through open-air sections, the main exhibition hall, a ninety-year-old Creole cottage and the House of Shards. An Airstream trailer with a flying saucer lodged in its side stands along the way. A gift shop sells items made by local artists.

The hybrid sculptures are named Darrel the Dogigator (half alligator, half dog), Edmond the Allisapien (half alligator, half Homo sapiens) and Buford the Bassigator (half bass, half alligator). An Airstream trailer on the grounds has a flying saucer lodged in its side.
