The Cane River meanders alongside both plantations, and has provided transport, sustenance and entertainment for their inhabitants for many generations. Numerous live oaks gracefully enhance the entrance to Oakland Plantation, while Magnolia Plantation is dotted with the fragrant trees for which it was named. The natural landscapes of the sites are in harmony with those created by early agrarian settlers. Today, tempered growth maintains the intimacy of these fragile, embraceable landscapes.
