There are a lot of really big and beautiful trees on this plantation.
...a fascinating history...
This is part of the front porch. A Creole Plantation Home was painted beautiful colors (which helped hide the mildew) whereas "American" Plantation Homes were painted white.
Every door had beautiful art on it...each room was different.
This is the back of the plantation home. You'll have to go yourself to learn why the two back wings are missing.
One of the slave quarters. At one time, when the plantation owners (after Laura) got into the slave trade business, there were 64 slave quarters on the grounds.
Too bad you can't smell how wonderful these orange blossoms smell.
