My husband and I toured St. Joseph Plantation in April of this year and would like to say how much we enjoyed the tour as well as the family member who conducted the tour. She was extremely knowledgeable and amenable to us Canadian visitors. We will certainly come to Louisiana again and visit you in the near future. Are there plans for renovating Felicity plantation and having it open for tours as well? YES Thank you so much for the lovely experience. Mary Collins

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…

The kids had a great time at St. Joseph Plantation. Many of them thought it was the best part of the trip. They thought all the outbuildings were interesting, especially the kitchen. I hear that you are restoring the sugar mill. I’m looking forward to seeing that on my next visit. Debby Pigman Louise S. McGehee School

My husband and I recently toured St. Joe’s and we just wanted to say once again how much we enjoyed the tour and the history lesson. Ms. Jackie Roussel, our tour guide, was truly wonderful and inspirational. Her passion for St. Joe’s and its history was very evident throughout the tour. The family members who are dedicated to the preservation of St. Joe and its wonderful past are to be commended for giving this legacy to all of us who are lucky enough to tour the estate. We will certainly tell our friends about the experience and encourage them to…

We went to st. Joes during their mourning tour that shared how the family would have mourned the passing of family members. It gave a great insight into a past world. The buildings and grounds are fantastic! Not over the top ‘Gone with the wind’ type homestead but that’s never been the family’s way. Family members continue to staff the home and present tours which makes the experience so much richer. Loved it and you’d be missing out if you skip it because it’s not as grand as other plantations near by. Fantastic experience. Thank you to the lovely ladies…
