Reviews of Magnolia Plantation Grounds (Cane River Creole National Historical Park: National Park Service)
"Very interesting place for history lovers. Beautiful grounds."
"Enjoyed walking through the buildings. Learned a lot about plantation life."
"This 1830 plantation had my attention as soon as we came upon the beautiful land. What intrigues me more is the haunted history of this particular plantation. Great National State Park spot in Derry, Louisiana ❤"
"No one was there but you could access the grounds. The interactive QR codes didn't work at any of the displays or buildings. The road has had a barricade in front of the store blocking through traffic for years so, if you want to access other historical locations up river, you're forced to detour north on Hwy 1 or I-49 and then proceed down Hwy 119 which is about a 20 mile detour. The road crew there must be working with picks & shovels."
"When we arrived there was no one on staff but there was a self guided path through the brick homes of formerly enslaved people who worked at this Plantation. The Plantation house was destroyed by Union troops in 1864 so only the brick homes of formerly enslaved people exist. We were disappointed that no Park Ranger was present to interpret the site."
