Shadows-on-the-Teche
One of the most significant aspects of Shadows-on-the-Teche's history is its role in the Civil War. During the Union Army's occupation of New Iberia in 1863, the home served as the headquarters for General Nathaniel Banks. Visitors can learn about how the plantation and its owners were affected by the war, and see the original battle maps that were drawn up inside the house. The home also played a role in the post-Civil War era, serving as a school for newly freed slaves. This historical site offers a unique perspective on the impact of the war on Louisiana's citizens.
Shadows-on-the-Teche is a must-see destination for anyone with an interest in southern history and architecture. The plantation home has been meticulously restored and is filled with authentic furnishings and artifacts from the 19th century. Visitors can take a guided tour of the home, which includes both the main house and a separate kitchen building, and learn about the daily lives of those who lived and worked on the plantation. The estate also hosts events throughout the year, such as a spring garden tour and a holiday lights display, making it a popular destination for tourists of all ages.
