Lakeport Plantation, plantation house in Arkansas, United States

Lakeport Plantation is a two-story Greek Revival house built around 1859 near Lake Village, Arkansas, for Lycurgus Johnson. Its restoration between 2003 and 2007 repaired the doors, floorcloth, mantel, attic rose window and the smokehouse behind the house. The house stands among cotton fields that are harvested every year.

Joel Johnson established the plantation in 1831, arriving with 23 enslaved people to grow cotton. After his death in 1846 left the title in legal dispute, his son Lycurgus acquired Lakeport in 1857 along with 88 enslaved people. The Greek Revival house was built around 1859; by 1860 Lycurgus enslaved more than 155 people across about 4,000 acres. The property stayed in the Johnson family until Victor Johnson sold it to the Sam Epstein family in 1927.

The house is named for Lakeport, the plantation established by Joel Johnson in 1831; his son Lycurgus acquired the title in 1857 and built the mansion around 1859. Exhibits at the museum, run by Arkansas State University, cover the enslaved masons, carpenters and household servants as well as the field hands, and the sharecroppers and tenant farmers who followed emancipation.

The house opened as a public museum in 2007 and is run by Arkansas State University; the restored smokehouse behind the house is among the parts visitors can see. The house stands near Lake Village in Chicot County, surrounded by cotton fields that are harvested every year, so the setting changes with the season.

The house stayed in the Johnson family until 1927, when Victor Johnson sold it to the Sam Epstein family. The Sam Epstein Angel family donated it to Arkansas State University in 2001, and restoration ran from 2003 to 2007, covering the doors, floorcloth, mantel, attic rose window and rear smokehouse. It opened as a public museum in 2007.
