Easy to find, well marked signs in front. Privately owned so enjoy from distance. You can see this is a fine location and a nice plantation home. Found an interesting history about the name of plantation
here.The Cherokee Plantation house dates from the 1830s and is named for the Cherokee roses in the front yard. It is typical of early Louisiana plantations, and reflects the lifestyles of French planters. South and west of the house are three very old barns, one a “log crib.” Across the road on the riverbank facing the big house is a slave cabin with the original fireplace. Most of the original outbuildings are gone. Also a great site is located
