The estate's mansion at Houmas House and Gardens, a Louisiana plantation-era attraction that includes visitor lodging, restaurants and a bar, and the most extensive gardens in "Plantation Country" along the winding [Mississippi] River Road near the tiny town of Darrow in Ascension Parish (Louisiana calls its counties "parishes"). Houmas House also features a separate, currently expanding (as of 2021) museum building with extensive exhibits about the River Road, Louisiana history, and slavery. Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2021.
