Levi Jordan Plantation, Antebellum plantation in Brazoria, Texas.
The plantation features a two-story Greek Revival house constructed with yellow pine lumber shipped from Florida and bricks made from local clay.
Founded in 1848 by Levi Jordan, who purchased 2,214 acres and established operations with twelve enslaved workers to produce sugar and cotton.
Archaeological excavations at the site have unearthed over 600,000 artifacts that document the daily experiences of both free and enslaved inhabitants.
The plantation opens Wednesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM, offering guided tours that explain agricultural methods and living conditions.
The site maintains the largest sugar factory built in Brazoria County during the 1850s, marking a significant period in Texas agricultural development.
