Houmas House Plantation

The "Crown Jewel of Louisiana's River Road" awaits your arrival. Houmas House once again shines and reflects its history as once the largest sugar plantation in America and its owners amongst the wealthiest in the South.

Extensive renovations have recently returned the Mansion to the period reflecting the Great Sugar Empire of the 1800's. The Mansion, begun in 1805 and completed by Wade Hampton II in 1829, along with the original plantation house built in the 1770's, rests among the great oaks, some dating back 500 years. Come stroll through our 12 acres of breathtaking gardens and enjoy the water lily ponds, fountains, sculptures, bridges and dual hexagonal garconnieres.

We are located 45 minutes West of New Orleans and just 4.5 miles off I-10 on the East bank of the River. Exit I-10 at Exit #179. Drive South.

Gift Shop, Croquet Lawn, Refreshments, and Picnic Area.

Special events, private parties, galas, and Weddings are available in our Gardens and Pavilion.
