MAGNOLIA PLANTATION
Plantation established in the 1830s by Ambrose Lecomte II and his wife Julia Buard in Derry
This plantation was established in the 1830s by Ambrose LeComte II and his wife Julia Buard, although the land was acquired in 1753 by Jean Baptiste LeComte I. Union troops burned it down when they left the area, so it was rebuilt and restored in the 1890s. The main house, still inhabited and not open to visitors, contains more than twenty rooms, including a Catholic chapel and a cotton press unique in the region. Note that this historic site is part of the Cane River Creole National Historical Park.
