I love this place.

Dear readers, this old plantation is a one of a kind! My father and I spend several hours enjoying the tour given by Ed our guide. A little about Ed, he lived in the house as a young man in his youth before the place became a museum and is a wealth of knowledge of it's past. Ed is a youthful 86 and has stories of the house, different items in the house and of the people of the area. Each room is dedicated to something different in the past. The musical machine at the base of the stairs, the gorgeous tiffany stained glass, the beautiful artistic ceramics, the Spanish bedroom, the Senator's office, are but a few of the items to see, don't miss the Beautiful Houma Indian exhibit. Give yourself time, and Ed will really make it worth your time with his stories, and you can congratulate him, he is a great grandpa again. Thanks Ed for a great tour that certainly made my day!

Brannon Estay

There pavilion was really nice!!

Scott Carroll

A classic plantation house turned museum. Tours are run by volunteers.

Eleanor Thompson

Not what I thought it would be.

They nickle and dime you to death. A sure way to run people away from the craft fair is to charge an entry fee. And what do you get for that? A chance to spend more money.

Our tour guide Helen was extremely knowledgeable about everything in the house and on the grounds. She was able to talk about anything we had questions about or expressed interest in. The house has artifacts not only from its own history but from the area's history. The slave quarters at the entrance is supposedly haunted, but that portion is self-guided. It would have been cool to know the ghost stories. The gift shop is also very nice. I wanted a themed snowglobe for a gift, but they focus more on the culture of Louisiana than just self-promotion.

The tour is $15/each for college students and Ed was the best guide ever ! Was worth every penny ! I learned so much from him because he use to live there as a young child! Not only do you learn the history of the plantation but you learn about the wider world events that shaped the plantation! Oh yea you get to see a real shrunken head !

Morgan Allison

We always go to the craft show in the spring and fall. I love going on tours of the house. Love having a piece of history in our home town.

Went to the craft fair. Had a really nice time. We didn't eat at the fair but we did go to every booth of vendors! Lots of variety and very reasonable prices!

Melissa Joseph

We were short on time.. So this was the closest plantation house to us.. It did not disappoint. The tour guide was great and he didn't rush us through. We got a privaye tour and really enjoyed it. Def. Stop by!

Mike Rodrigue

Lovely for an outdoor wedding.

Philip Wu

For the museum, craft from around South Louisiana.

Barbara Kennedy

Our daughter was a missionary serving in this area. She was gone 1 1/2 years, so a year after she returned home, we took her back to the place she loved on a vacation. We had a fabulous time, and one of the things we did was to take a tour at the plantation. Loved it! What a blast back to Another time. I believe that enslaving anyone is wrong, but history teaches us, and thank goodness some of these old homes remain,

peggy dominique

We go every year twice a year. We love it!

J.L. Collette

Good craft show

Joel Ohmer

Carl Triggs

Southdown is very picturesque and prime photographic backdrop!

Dean Chauvin

I've never been into the plantation facility, but I've been to many events on the grounds here. Southdown Market Place. Office Events. Bayou Beer Fest. Multiple weddings. This is a very nice facility to hold these events. The outdoor pavilion is really nice and can hold a lot of folks.

Eric Laverdure

Magnifique musée, d'une richesse incroyable. Vieux guide super, mais anglophone qui détaille toutes ses explications. A noter, entrée jusqu'à 15h mais la visite est longue ensuite. Vraiment à ne pas rater.

Leslie Nordstrom

Didn't do the tour but the grounds are lovely.

Trinity Desmares

This was a beautiful place for my neighbors wedding.
