The birthplace of H. H. Richardson, one of America's most important architects of the 19th century, this 1,000-acre was given fully furnished to the daughter of the "Louis XIV of Louisiana," Valcour Aime, as a wedding gift in 1858. Here you can learn about the sugar cane industry in South Louisiana from 1795, when sugar was first produced on a commercial scale and sugar was considered white gold, to the present day. Visitors can also view "the renovated slave cabins, Creole cottages, detached kitchen, barns, chicken coops, blacksmith shop carpenter shop and other dependencies necessary to sustain life during these early years." St. Joseph Plantation's house and grounds are ideal for a wedding or reception.
