Eight Generations of Tradition---Butler Greenwood Plantation was once an indigo and cotton plantation. Today this plantation is lived in and loved by members of the original family, one of very few such places. Renowned Louisiana author and historian, Anne Butler, gives tours of her family's home and offers overnight stays in bed & breakfast cottages on the grounds.

Perfect setting for small, intimate receptions.

Open by appointment only. Gracious Mary Thompson, descendent-owner of the original builder, conducts lively tours of this once thriving cotton and sugar plantation,featuring family treasures submerged in their pond from the raiding Civil War Yankees.

Surrounded by spacious galleries, this house was built on a Spanish land grant. It is one of the few remaining complete antebellum plantation complexes, and its dependencies include a law office/school house, milk house, kitchen, smoke house, old slave quarters, barns and other structures that complete a working plantation.  The Cottage offers plantation tours and overnight lodging.
