I stopped by this national park site on a road trip. The entrance was a gravel road that wasn't the…read moremost obvious. The small farm was not a happening place, with not a soul in sight on the day I visited. An enclosure was playing some video content that came on without warning in the way that a horror movie would do trying for a cheap jump scare. There were several buildings, but none were open. There are tours, but they are at very limited times, and just walking the grounds didn't offer much. There is some interesting history to be discovered, but without the tour it isn't anything impressive. This was not a working farm kind of exhibit, with no actual animals and not a ton of meaningful exhibits. It's nice that the site is preserved, and maybe if you visit at the right time there's more to get out of it. However, I do recall when I was last in Shreveport I considered an hour road trip both ways to see this place, and I'm quite glad that I didn't.

We had no idea what to expect when we pulled up here, but we're so glad we stopped. The two plantations that composed this park are among the most intact Creole cotton plantations in existence, and the park does an excellent job of telling the story. I recommend that every start at the little pavilion near the parking lot and watch the video; it provides excellent context. The rangers there were ready and eager to answer questions, and the whole experience reminds me that we really do have some amazing historic sites in our country.

The tour of the main house is guided only, and the furnishings are not what you would expect, seeing that the family lived in the house until this century. It is still decorated in the sixties style. As with most things in the south that are located outside, stay cool in the summer. We went in December and it was comfortable, I would guess that August would not be as much fun.
