Hi. I took a tour of your lovely property and home a while ago. I’m a local (LaPlace) and just wanted to say that I’ve seen many plantations but your tour is the most informative and enjoyable I’ve ever taken. Yours is also quite inexpensive when compared to others that barely let you in the home. There was nothing roped off, you have access to just about anything you want to see. I plan to tour again, this time bringing my hubby. I’ve told everyone I know about the informed, courteous tour guides and if they want to see a…

It was fun to experience a really good living history tour, as opposed to the lame one foisted upon Maggie Crozat and her co-workers by an obnoxious new boss in my latest Cajun Country Mystery, A Cajun Christmas Killing.

Thank you for the wonderful tour for our Southdown volunteers and members. The added “mourning ” elements were very interesting (and the very next day the article was in our local Houma Courier newspaper). Good luck with all your endeavors at St. Joseph and we hope you’ll stay in touch with our group. Karen Hait Museum Director Southdown Plantation /Terrebonne Museum

My mother and I visited your plantation home with my three children. Wow! What an interesting tour! Wehave been patiently waiting through the years to see your home as we make at least once-a-year trip to Oak Alley to get away from Texas for awhile. It was defeintely worth the wait. I am an archeological major and I love everything to do with your part of the world. I find women’s roles fascinating and Creole families inspiring. I loved the family history and hard work that has gone on in the past on your land and seeing it continue to…

My sister and myself recently discovered and visited your lovely plantation and grounds. We were quite impressed with our tour guide and her wealth of knowledge on family and local history. We’ve toured many plantations, but none with such thoroughness of information. The fact that a family as large as yours can come together and agree to disagree to achieve such a dream is impressive also. We hope to see you agan on our next trip South! Rita Long

We had a wonderful time at the wedding and are so happy that we decided to have it at St. Joseph. I wouldn’t have changed anything about the day. Thank you for helping to make my dream wedding a reality! Destrie Horgan
