Located on the west bank of the Mississippi River from Baton Rouge, this raised Creole Cottage was owned by the same family for some 200 years.
Beautiful privately owned home was easy to locate because of a State of Louisiana historical marker in front lawn. Some information found, but the quote from the Historical marker gives a good, brief description of the plantation:
"A typical raised Creole Cottage, Antonia was an early 1800s working sugar plantation. Established through a 1793 Spanish Land Grant claimed bu Pierre Lebert. Zephirin Blanchard married Lebert's daughter Elsie and expanded the plantation. Zephirie Blanchard fought in the War of 1812. His son Arthur fought and died in the Civil War. Antonia Plantation was owned by the Blanchard-Levert Family for over 200 years"
