  • Please join me as I visit the Magnolia Lane Plantation across the river from New Orleans, Louisiana. This plantation was established in the 1700's during the Spanish colonial period, is built in the French tradition, and has been in existence since. The home and land has been featured in many major motion pictures up to the present time. It has also been claimed to be one of the scariest places on earth!
    In this informal tour, the owners Brad and Mr. Richard show me around and allow me to hang out with them for several days. If you are ever in the area, check out their retail plant nursery that is located on the property. Brad is an expert in flowering gingers and has a huge collection of amazing plants. The nursery address is Nine Mile Point Nursery, 2141 River Road Westwego, Louisiana.

    Notice the sudden seriousness on Chigs face when the plaid shirt guy starts talking about the two nearby forts and the home being used as a command post. He’s like my bird dog. Everything is fun and games until he sees a bird.

      As someone with ADHD, I recognise it in Beau (that's a compliment, ADHD comes with amazing gifts). His low boredom threshold, impulsivity (not wearing safety equipment!), how quickly his brain works and how he makes connections, curiosity, ability to talk endlessly to camera (himself/us), quick repartee, and hyperfocus. That zooming in when the guy mentions forts- boom, he's locked on a target. Bet his mind was all over it, and he went to bed, working out how to get there long into the night. @Keith, When you said squirrel!, you were more correct than you knew. That's our ADHD community in-joke, "oh look, a squirrel"!!!

      @@njones420 That's really cool! Do you have to keep it updated with period materials, if possible? I don't remember how long ago it was that I read something about one of the reasons it is so hard to upkeep historical British buildings is because of a requirement to maintain it as close to period as possible.
      As for this home, yes, the swamps of Louisiana definitely take their toll and he did mention that the "Dying Room" had stayed closed off for a very long time. The plantation home my mother grew up in (though it was by no means a plantation any longer) is now a Historical Site and managed by a historical society. We've been back a time or two and it's very interesting to see the differences between, well, just about every part of the much older home and those built even a hundred years ago and especially to those built today. Of course, it also comes with its own ghosts.

      @M P Oh, what a grown-up response. Let's burn down someone's home because of the history PERCEIVED to have happened there. Did you even listen to a word he said? You're gonna burn down their family residence that they moved into AFTER the Civil War? Many plantations/estates were not returned to the previous owners after the war; do you think all of them would also be burned "just because"??? Also, maybe you should look into the Civil War and the activities occurring before during and after it according to the people who were going through it; it went WAY beyond slavery... No matter which country they originally came from... Or under what party name they registered.

      Here in the South, ESPECIALLY right next to a river, we don't usually have basements; they tend to flood constantly. Attics, though, yup, we can usually provide some ample attic space, though you might need to watch your back so you don't nail yourself to the roof. 😉 I sure would love a peek in the attics here, though!!!
