Evergreen Plantation

Evergreen Plantation is a plantation located on Louisiana Highway 18 near Wallace, Louisiana. The main house was constructed mostly in 1790, renovated to its current Greek Revival style in 1832, and the plantation's historical crop was sugarcane. Some of Django Unchained was filmed here, Big Daddy's Bennett Manor. Also the Church from the Kill Bill Movies, the Chili Restaurant from Death Proof.

[@songbirdy]

Damn. Are we there yet? Longest driveway ever.

[@Clif77x]

Yes it was long, 2600 feet I believe. That was the hardest part of filming it by drone.

I’m reading a photography book by Clarence John Laughlin: ‘Ghosts along The Mississippi’. He photographed Louisiana’s past in extraordinary photos of old plantation homes. This one is featured in his book. It dates: 1830’s. Eryone should check it out from your local library.

[@Clif77x]

Please change the music. I had to mute it to be able to watch it

[@denisesevera9490]

Turn down volume that simple...

[@grrriallen7192]

I did turn it down, smarty pants, but that is just as bad watching it silently. I am allowed my own opinion, you know, unless you are a democrat!

[@georgerounsaville1809]

Wildly inappropriate music.

[@Sedonawhite]

😆

[@denisesevera9490]

Would you prefer banjo or blues? All you have to do is turn your volume down...

[@Sedonawhite]

Don't we get to see the inside!?!? 😡😞

Beautiful! I would have loved to have seen it as a working plantation back in its day. People seem to only focus on the slaves and their ill treatment. I am very fascinated by the entire working practice of the plantation. They were huge! They surly made fortunes both nationally and through exports. Too bad there isn't a TV series that focuses on it. We had 'Roots', it's time for the real working plantations to come to the big screen. It is absolutely fascinating. I believe the exports side of the business eventually led up to the Civil War, because NY demanded more money from import/export tariffs and warehouse storage. Not to mention the political side- State Representatives based upon population of a State, GDP, and the vast amount of money the Southern States had. If I had the money, I would make a TV Special Series of the real working plantations back in their prime time; all the way up to the Civil War. It should be from a political perspective, not from an abolitionist viewpoint- but from a Southerners'.
