Plantation Houses

Plantation houses are historic residences built on large farmland, primarily in the southern United States, where crops like cotton, tobacco, or sugar were grown. These grand homes often served as the central hub of plantation life, reflecting the wealth and status of their owners. Constructed in various architectural styles, they typically feature large porches, high ceilings, and spacious rooms. While they are cultural landmarks showcasing history and architecture, they also have complex and painful associations with slavery and labor systems that supported plantation economies.
