Melrose Plantation is a historic Cane River plantation complex with several surviving buildings and guided tours of the 1832 big house. The site is closely tied to the region's Creole history and to the story of Marie Thérèse Coincoin and her descendants.
Visit it as part of a Cane River day trip from Natchitoches, where the plantation landscape gives important context to the area's older churches, houses, and national historical park sites.
