Trail of History: Historic Latta Plantation

We visit the plantation, learn about the family that owned it, life for the enslaved people who labored in the fields, see the buildings still standing today and the animals that provide a real life back-drop for tours, reenactments, and educational programs.

I’m related to Mr. Latta who built the plantation and I remember my grandmother would tell me about how she would have their reunions there, I have never been there but I would like to someday

@Troy Callan I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

If I'm not mistaken, the Samples' owned it as well. I used to visit there when I lived close in Monroe, N.C

It's not a common last name in my area, but it's always fun meeting people with the same last name. We always make the connection going way back to here and back to Europe on how we're all related

I'd like to visit,when corona goes away

I went there about 12 years ago. I was really cold. If you go in the winter or fall, dress warm. Also, it is NOT like a "Gone with the Wind" plantation. The house is an uninsulated box. That being all said, it was interesting. There's a type of museum at the site as well.

It's a wonderful place! I went yesterday and have been to camps their when I was young. I hope to start volunteering their soon.

In 1834 John and Jane Latta with two enslaved men, Ben and Dan, came from South Carolina and built a house and a blacksmith business in Northwest Arkansas. Their two story home was moved in the early 1900’s to Prairie Grove, Ar where it is one of several buildings at Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park. Seems like kin to these folks.

I grew up in Dillon County and never even knew about this. I dont agree with history but I love learning about it. (OK, after seeing this video, I see this video isn't about Latta the town, rather a fam named Latta. ... which is also interesting because I've never heard of anything Latta other than that little town.)
