The Battle of New Orleans: Plantation Houses on the Battlefield of New Orleans

by Samuel Wilson Jr.

This guide covers the plantation homes present on the battlefield during the British campaign of 1814-1815, the last major conflict of the War of 1812. The nine properties mentioned span a six-mile stretch along the east bank of the Mississippi River in an area known as Pointe St. Antoine, which derives its name from the bend in the river. Though the plantations no longer stand, their historical significance remains.
