Visitors to Houmas House Plantation and Gardens can build
their trip into an adventure that includes nearby shopping,
dinning, attractions and other plantations.
Many other historic plantation sites are located within minutes
of Houmas House, some of which are not open for tours. The
grand old homes are, however, friendly to photographers and
the facts on their historic plaques help immerse visitors
in the Great River Road experience.
