"We were short on time.. So this was the closest plantation house to us. It did not disappoint. The tour guide was great and he didn't rush us through. We got a private tour and really enjoyed it. Definately stop by"!

"You want to take a tour here. In addition to being a beautiful plantation, this is a museum of Parish history. Our tour guide did an absolutely spectacular job of explaining it all to us. There are so many photos and artifacts of the early days here. We enjoyed every minute of it".
