Oakland Plantation, Cotton plantation in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana.
The plantation complex contains 17 original structures, including two pigeonniers, an overseer's house, a corn crib, and a carpenter's shop.
In 1821, Jean Pierre Emanuel Prud'homme and Catherine Lambre completed the main house, establishing one of the first cotton plantations in the region.
The skilled labor of enslaved craftsmen, including blacksmiths Philippe and Solomon Williams, created iron latches, hinges, and tools throughout the property.
The National Park Service maintains the property with daily opening hours from 9 AM to 3:30 PM, offering free admission to all visitors.
The plantation earned recognition as a National Bicentennial Farm, making it one of two such designated properties west of the Mississippi River.
