Houmas House and Gardens

,
Houmas House stands on land
purchased in 1774 from the Houma
Indians; that by 1809 a house
existed on the site

,

In front of the antebellum mansion,
a reflecting pond mirrors the
house’s Tara-like columns, while
near the entrance to the estate, an
arched footbridge spans a
Giverny-inspired pond filled with
waterlilies and lotus blossoms.

Set on 38 acres alit with butterflies,
the Houmas House gardens are
filled with the fragrance of
budding magnolia blossoms and
sweet olive trees.
