"Lots of history to take in; wear your walking shoes and bring a lunch."
"A wonderful preserved piece of history. Worth a stop, id plan 2 hours if you want to visit all the buildings and history. There is a small gift shop and can get a passport stamp here"
"This is a nice place to visit. It has several different buildings. I loved reading the History. Some of it was already known to me since i grew up in Louisiana. The pigeon house was completely new info for me. I'm going back soon to explore the whole area!"
"The Cane River Creole National Historical Park is a NPS site with a lot of history. It was a self guided tour and unfortunately the house wasn’t opened while I was there but was still quite fascinating."
"Almost a hidden gem. This is a great park just off the interestate a few miles. It’s a great place to see a plantation of this type. The buildings were restored beautifully. The staff here love their jobs here and it shows. Great explanations about the history of the park and the surrounding area. NOTE…. It is a plantation. Be prepared to spend some time walking around to look at the various buildings. Also, try to join in in the plantaion house walk through. It’s fascinating. There are restrooms near the parking lot."
