Carter Plantation - Springfield, LA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Great humble plantation home. Very difficult to locate it has taken me 3 trips to finally locate it. Privately owned, but very easy to photograph. The plantation lands have been transformed by professional golfer David Toms to a world class 18 hole course and golf community. It really is a great area to visit, and play 18 holes. There is alot of good information located online, but I found a historical marker (photo included), with a great history located on grounds that states

A Spanish land grant acquired by James Rheims in 1804. Thomas Freeman, fmc, built "Sycamore 1817-1820. Colonel William Breed, first sheriff of Livingston Parish, purchased estate in 1838.
