River National Heritage Area - The Cane River
National Heritage Area is a largely rural, agricultural landscape know
both for its historic Creole-style plantations and structures and its
unique people and culture. The area has been shaped by almost 300 years
of events--large and small, difficult and joyous. Today it is home to a
history and culture that has evolved from those events, and from the
people who have lived them: the Europeans, the Native Americans, free
and enslaved Blacks, the Creoles of French, Spanish, African and
American Indian descent.

The park includes 42 acres of Oakland Plantation and 18 acres of Magnolia Plantation outbuildings.
