The pics do not do this justice, The place was just perfect. I had never stopped, before this, passed it a few times, but never stopped.
Home, grounds and other visible buildings appeared to all be in perfect condition. According to sign, Evergreen has 37 buildings. The ones visible looked to be restored. I never knew the rich history of this plantation. I learned alot from the VERY interesting and informative official Evergreen website located here. It also gives tour times and dates. "Evergreen Plantation is the most intact plantation complex in the South with 37 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, including 22 slave cabins. Evergreen has its country's highest historic designation and joins Mount Vernon and Gettysburg in being granted landmark status for its agricultural acreage.
Today, Evergreen Plantation remains a privately owned, working sugar cane plantation. People live here and work here. Evergreen Plantation is located on the west bank of the Mississippi River, between New Orleans and Baton Rouge in the Parish of St. John the Baptist, Louisiana."
