  • I toured the Rosedown home in St. Francisville, Louisiana. The main home was completed in 1835 and contains a large amount of original furnishings and items throughout. The home and garden area is a very interesting site full of history that has been restored and conserved. Come see the home and surrounding gardens.

    I am torn between the beauty and tragedy of this beautiful home. Along with thousands of other homes with this history. The PEOPLE responsible for building this homes staircase, in turn were NOT allowed to even use it! What a humiliated state of being or NOT being! If I were here I would be enslaved to work FOR LIFE FOR FREE 😥

      Absolutely. The house is beautiful but the history is a terrible tragedy. Really appreciate your comment.

      The history is what it is, the good, the bad & the ugly. It is America’s story and should be understood by all.

    I have visited this home on a couple of occasions, but not in recent years. However, I can attest to its beauty and appreciate being a visitor back in the day pre-gift shop era

    The place is beautiful, it needs some Spanish moss removal before all the trees that line the driveway will be dead. Some of them are not far from dying, that would be sad.

    The slaves weren't allowed to use the beautiful staircase in the front entry, which they did a lovely job building it. That's so Cringe 🤨
