Allendale Plantation, Historic plantation in Port Allen, Louisiana, United States
The Allendale Plantation Historic District contains fifteen wood-framed structures, including residences, a church, and an office building from the 1800s.
Founded in 1850 by Henry Watkins Allen, the plantation expanded to 2,027 acres with 627 acres under cultivation and operated its own railroad system.
The plantation features preserved worker cabins from 1870-1900, offering insights into the evolution of agricultural labor systems in the American South.
One of the original cabins from Allendale Plantation remains on display at the West Baton Rouge Museum for educational visits and research purposes.
The plantation implemented a token-based payment system for laborers after 1908, using merchandise checks instead of cash despite federal regulations.
