DESTREHAN PLANTATION
Go there and contact
Plantation with garden, with eight Doric columns, which offers a visit by guides in costume in Destrehan.
The plantation was built in 1787 in the French colonial style by a free mulatto, Charles Pacquet, and then remodeled in the Greek Renaissance style in the 1830s-1840s to house the 14 children of the Destrehan family. It is the oldest recorded plantation in the Mississippi Delta. The house is now a long Creole building, with eight Doric columns lining its façade and two wings on each side. The garden contains magnificent oak trees that are more than a hundred years old. The visit is assured by guides in costumes.
