The Cherokee Plantation house dates from the 1830s and is named for the Cherokee roses in the front yard. It is typical of early Louisiana plantations, and reflects the lifestyles of French planters. South and west of the house are three very old barns, one a “log crib.” Across the road on the riverbank facing the big house is a slave cabin with the original fireplace. Most of the original outbuildings are gone. This plantation’s main house interior has been modernized, but the exterior’s style and flavor has been preserved, and it still reflects Creole lifestyles and construction techniques. The plantation is on the National Register of Historic Places for state significance. It is privately owned, but occasionally is open to public visitation by appointment.
