Iberville was the site of numerous plantations and antebellum homes. Most plantation homes no longer exist, having become ruins because of fire, floods, hurricanes, civil war, and age. Included on this site is a listing of Iberville Parish plantation homes that exist only in our history.
Of the few surviving, the pride of the region is demonstrated by the stateliness and majesty of Nottoway plantation. The slave labor that built these majestic marvels may have been justly proud of their accomplishment. Their endeavor and the conditions under which they toiled are difficult to imagine. Many of their buildings have survived for more than 150 years.
