This historic estate sprawls across 38 acres of the South’s most exquisite gardens, three restaurants, a posh Inn, and a historic mansion. The guided mansion tour leads guests through the architectural evolution of the mansion and recounts how a succession of owners and the Mississippi River built this manor house to the present day grand estate. Period antiques, artwork, and artifacts help set the mood along with costumed guides to tell the stories of plantation life. Once taking over 300,000 acres, Houmas House has endured wars, floods, abandonment, and the test of time. Spend the day and experience the Antebellum South.
