Evergreen Plantation, National Historic Landmark plantation in Wallace, Louisiana

Evergreen Plantation is a protected complex on the Mississippi River in Louisiana that contains 37 buildings and stands as the most complete example of preserved antebellum architecture. The Greek Revival main house sits beside an oak alley, while the arrangement of buildings shows the original division of work and living areas.

The complex began in 1790 and functioned with enslaved workers who grew and processed sugar cane until emancipation. During 1940s restoration, builders integrated 300,000 bricks from the demolished Uncle Sam Plantation.

Evergreen Plantation was among the first 26 sites featured on the Louisiana African American Heritage Trail. Its 22 slave quarters stand in a double row along an allée of oak trees, and the grounds also hold a garconnière for young bachelors or male guests and a pigeonnier, a pigeon house that signalled the planter's status. The house itself is not open for tours, and a "No Trespassing" sign stands at the start of the dirt road leading to it.

The house is not open for tours, and a "No Trespassing" sign stands at the start of the dirt road leading to it. The site has instead served as a film location, appearing in Django Unchained (2012) and Antebellum (2020).
