This historic estate boasts 38 acres of the South’s most beautiful gardens, three restaurants, a luxurious Inn and a historic mansion open daily for tours. The guided mansion tour leads guests through the architectural evolution of the mansion and details how a succession of owners and the Mississippi River grew this manor house to today’s grand estate. Period antiques, artwork and artifacts help the costumed guides tell the story of plantation life.
Specially trained tour guides offer a complimentary 1 hour tour through the mansion with its artwork, artifacts and antiques. This guided tour brings you back to the 1880’s to catch a glimpse of the life of a wealthy sugar Baron and his mistress.
After your tour of the mansion you’ll want to take time to stroll through the immaculate gardens. The many sitting areas invite you to sit and experience the year-round grandeur of the ancient oak alley. Relax with a refreshing mint julep, freshly prepared in The Turtle Bar. Dine in one of three restaurants boasting Louisiana creole Cajun cuisine. Breakfast, lunch and dinner available 7 days a week. Or visit the Houmas House Gift Shop and The River Region Art Gallery offering a wide selection of unique souvenirs, handmade collectibles, original works of art and prints, as well as cookbooks, candles, photographs and fascinating books on the architecture, history and culture of south Louisiana and New Orleans.
