Take a Tour Back in Time
The classic movie “Gone with the Wind” and other films and shows that have focused on the genteel south have captivated the imaginations of many generations around the world. Some of the plantations that helped to create the fascination with the south are now open for public tour.
Catalpa Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana may not be the typical plantation home that is inspired by the media. It is still owned by decedents of the origional builders. Some of the family treasures that were saved destruction by the Union Army during the Civil War are on display in the home today.
The Myrtles Plantation is also located in St. Francesville, Louisiana. It was built in 1796 and is said to be one of America’s most haunted homes. Today the home is filled with Hand Painted stained glass, tapestries, crystal chandeliers, and amazing furnishings.
Dewberry Plantation in Texas was constructed in 1854. It was called “Myrtle-Vale” by its origional builders because of the numerous crepe myrtles that lead to the house. It is the only two-story, pre-Civil War house still standing in the community.
Greenwood Plantation is still another jewel to add to the St. Francisville crown. It was originally constructed in the 1830’s and the land grew cotton. After the war, the home fell from one owner to the next until 1915 when it became a family farm. The structure was struck by lightning in 1960 and burned. It was rebuilt to its former glory by the family of the current owner.
Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina is home to one of the most famous pictures of the old south – the Avenue of Oaks (it took two centuries for the branches to meet overhead). The grounds date back for hundreds of years, but the plantation house is relatively new. It was only built back in 1936.
Carnton Plantation in Franklin, Tennessee is not just an amazing nod to antebellum architecture, but is also a historical site in its own right. During the war, the plantation property was the site of one of the bloodiest battles. The home served as the main field hospital. Two years later the family donated two acres to serve as a Confederate graveyard. Today you can tour the restored home, a recreation of an 1847 garden, slave quarters and much more.
The many plantations that are opened for tours (and even those homes you can just view from a distance) give you a glimpse into the light-hearted days the preceded the darkest time in American history.
