Houmas House Plantation
This plantation has a rich history, dating back to the early 1700s when it was first established by French settlers. It was then purchased by John Smith Preston in 1837 and renamed "Houmas" after a tribe of Native Americans who once inhabited the area. Under his ownership, the plantation flourished, producing large amounts of sugarcane and becoming one of the wealthiest plantations in the region. However, it also has a dark history, as many enslaved individuals were forced to work on the plantation under harsh conditions.
Today, Houmas House Plantation is a popular destination for tourists and history enthusiasts. Visitors can step back in time and imagine what life was like on a southern plantation before the Civil War. The property has been meticulously restored, with magnificent oak trees, beautiful gardens, and stunning architecture. It also offers world-class dining options, luxurious accommodations, and special events throughout the year. Whether you are interested in history, architecture, or just want to experience the grandeur of the Old South, Houmas House Plantation is a must-see destination for visitors to Thibodaux, Louisiana.
