Description
Not far from New Orleans is Evergreen Plantation on River Road which follows along the levee of the Mississippi River. These slave quarters are part of the property. From the Evergreen site (evergreenplantation.org) comes the following description:
"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."
