Carter Plantation, Greek Revival plantation in Springfield, Louisiana.
The Carter Plantation features a Federal-style main house with symmetrical design elements and classical architectural details at 30325 Carter Cemetery Road.
Thomas Freeman, a free person of color, constructed the plantation in 1820, becoming the first African American property owner in the Greensburg District.
The plantation operated two separate schoolhouses, with one secretly providing education to enslaved children during a period when their formal instruction was forbidden.
The property maintains regular visiting hours and functions as the central office for The Villas and Carter Plantation Golf Resort complex.
The plantation generated substantial income through cypress timber harvesting, using Blood River for transportation to New Orleans markets.
