Destrehan Plantation, Antebellum mansion in Destrehan, Louisiana.
The two-story colonial mansion features French Colonial architecture with Greek Revival elements, wooden columns, and symmetrical balconies overlooking the Mississippi River.
Construction of the plantation began in 1787 under Spanish rule when Robert Antoine Robin de Logny contracted Charles Pacquet to build the raised house.
The River Road Historical Society maintains exhibitions displaying period furnishings, historical documents, and demonstrations of traditional craft techniques from colonial Louisiana.
Located at 13034 River Road, the plantation offers guided tours every day from 9 AM to 4 PM, with ticket purchases available at the visitor center.
The property served as a Freedmen's Bureau learning center after the Civil War, providing educational resources and employment opportunities for formerly enslaved individuals.
