- Taking an easy stroll through the Longfellow-Evangeline State Historic Site and taking a step back into the 1800s Louisiana. I also took a walk through the Olivier Plantation House that sits on the property. This house dates back to 1836 and is quite lovely! Enjoy!

The history of these plantations are so interesting. And yes, the lands they owned were laid out just right. I haven't seen a mighty oak tree since I was ten, back in Jersey. Love your channel. History lives longer than we do. Thank you for all your work and time. Soooo appreacited. Take care, be safe. God bless your work.

Interesting! I am a fan of traveling to historical sites. Thanks for all the insight!
You're very welcome! You should come visit for yourself one day!
Beautiful plantation. I am enjoying the plantation series too. Thanks for the Canadian history lesson. Great opening I cannot remember if I learned about this in history class or not. (From Ontario Canada) Look forward to your next one!
Thank you so much! Yes that opening video helped me a lot, too! Made my job a little easier
I've been enjoying your videos and especially the plantations.. thanks for sharing these treasures.

Very interesting thanks !
As always, you're very welcome, Jeanne :)
wow what a gorgeous property!! Amazing furniture, like you , I would take all the desks! The ladder on the front porch of the first cabin did it lead to a tiny loft? I love seeing all plantations. They are so interesting. Keep them coming!! Thank you for sharing, really appreciate it.
Thank you Susie ❤️.. yes this was a fun one indeed! I'm not sure if it led to a loft or not. I can't remember off the top of my head.
Thank you for sharing! I am a descendant of the Olivier’s of New Orleans. Charles Olivier who’s house that was is my 4X great grand uncle. His father Pierre Olivier De Vezin was awarded that land from the King of France. I plan to visit soon!
Oh wow! Thank you for sharing that! It's got to be very satisfying knowing that you're related to someone with such a story. So cool indeed!
@@travelwithoutacause Great video. It belonged in my father's side of the family as well. Wonder if they still had the coat of arms in there? I didn't see it in your video.
@@janetw4730 interesting! I don't remember if I saw that while I was there. I highly encourage you to visit it, though!
@@travelwithoutacause I've been there several times a long time ago. The last time I was there the house was blueish color. I will contact them and inquire about the coat of arms.
@@janetw4730 definitely let us know!
Thank you for posting. The field trips you take us on are so interesting and I learn so much. 😊 I love seeing plantations.
Thank you Jilly, that's so sweet of you! I try to do the places due diligence with the research and presentation of it all. Thanks for subscribing ❤️
Nice one, Matt! What a nice looking place. I’d definitely would want a porch like that, but completely wrapped around.
18:56 - kinda looks like the handle of a corn sheller (between the saddles)
22:39 - Dominoes? Next to the die.
24:56 - Per Wikipedia, Cup-and-ball (or ball in a cup) or ring and pin. Bilboquet in France. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup-and-ball
I saw a croquet set on the side of the desk.
32:07 - Blacksmith was ahead of the time. He had a vise.
38:39 - Now, that looks like a corn sheller. Can’t make out what the plate had on it. DVEKER?
43:36 - Longhorns
44:33 - “Wilbur!” Dutch door/stable door/half door
Hey Johnny! Wow thanks for all that info and for breaking it down like that, it's super helpful! I thought that ball and cup thing had another name to it.. Guess I'm thinking of something else 🤣 Always great to hear from you!
@@travelwithoutacause no problem! Yeah, I’m thinking the ball and cup game may have another name that we may use down here. I know my parents would call something by a name completely different from what an object would be known as. They probably would say it in Cajun-French, not knowing the English term.
This is my family’s home! Olivier plantation
Oh awesome! I loved visiting that place ❤️
