A grand private home originally built as the Bankers' Pavilion for the 1884 World's Industrial and Cotton Exposition in New Orleans, this Victorian mansion with Oriental-looking details was moved by barge on the Mississippi River to Poplar Grove Plantation in 1886, by sugar planter Horace Wilkinson and his wife, Julia. Five generations of the Wilkinson family have called Poplar Grove home. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is available by appointment for group tours, dining, and special occasions.
