CANE RIVER CREOLE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK
The Cane River region is home to a unique culture; the Creoles. Generations of the same families of owners and workers, enslaved and tenant, lived on these lands for over 200 years. The park tells their stories and preserves the cultural landscape of Oakland and Magnolia Plantations, two of the most intact Creole cotton plantations in the United States.
Cane River Creole National Historical Park is located near Natchitoches
