Great experience.. They need to really show the entire house. The kitchen, the added on portion where the children live as well as the upstairs of the labor workers house. We also should have been able to go to the front of the home to check pictures of the house. The guide was good and she was able to answer majority of questions.

Was really too big of a crowd without mask. Not a good place to be under the circumstances. But lots of venders

Tour guide gave a very detailed history of the plantation. Stained glass is absolutely beautiful.

A must see when youre in Houma. Beautiful grounds with a well preserved southern plantation home. Easy parking and low cost history lesson. Worth seeing!

Ive never been into the plantation facility, but Ive been to many events on the grounds here. Southdown Market Place. Office Events. Bayou Beer Fest. Multiple weddings. This is a very nice facility to hold these events. The outdoor pavilion is really nice and can hold a lot of folks.

From someone not from Terrebonne parish it was soo worth the drive ( 2 hours ) loved the tour so informative!

Our tour guide Helen was extremely knowledgeable about everything in the house and on the grounds. She was able to talk about anything we had questions about or expressed interest in. The house has artifacts not only from its own history but from the areas history. The slave quarters at the entrance is supposedly haunted, but that portion is self-guided. It would have been cool to know the ghost stories. The gift shop is also very nice. I wanted a themed snowglobe for a gift, but they focus more on the culture of Louisiana than just self-promotion.

Beautiful place to see.

Loved it totally ️ The Host was Excellent.Me and my sisters and daughters had a wonderful experience.

Went to Southdown Festival!!!Lovely grounds filled with creative vendors!Delicious food and music!Everyone was friendly!

Beautiful plantation steeped in history. Well worth the stop.

The museum looks like a small building but it contains so much information on the bayous that you will spend hours without realizing it. staff is also very nice & knowledgeable

Great craft fair as a vendor. Awesome for craft fair junkies like myself.

Had a great time foe a goos cause

Went to the craft fair. Had a really nice time. We didnt eat at the fair but we did go to every booth of vendors! Lots of variety and very reasonable prices!

The tour is $15/each for college students and Ed was the best guide ever ! Was worth every penny ! I learned so much from him because he use to live there as a young child! Not only do you learn the history of the plantation but you learn about the wider world events that shaped the plantation! Oh yea you get to see a real shrunken head !

We were short on time.. So this was the closest plantation house to us.. It did not disappoint. The tour guide was great and he didnt rush us through. We got a privaye tour and really enjoyed it. Def. Stop by!

A deep and rich depository of our local heritage.

They nickle and dime you to death. A sure way to run people away from the craft fair is to charge an entry fee. And what do you get for that? A chance to spend more money.

Love to see all of the different types of crafts,they have great corn soup.

Was just a whole lot of fun

The Arts and Crafts show at Southdown yesterday was wonderful. (March 24, 2018) They also have an Autumn one in November. Loved it!!! You must go.

Always an event going on of some kind, bathrooms were tricky to find but located by the gift shop.

Pricey but enjoyed it.

A little HIGH ON PRICES TO TOUR.

Great place to rent for almost any kind of event. Awesome staff.

We always go to the craft show in the spring and fall. I love going on tours of the house. Love having a piece of history in our home town.

We go every year twice a year. We love it!

Nice tour, informative guide, interesting history.

Beautiful historic home which is now a museum and home of many events.

Went for the bayou beer festival there, grounds were nice and its a great place to visit

The tour guide was excellent and the plantation was incredible. So much amazing information and history.

Historical! Love this location. Every event here is always so nice. From St. Francis Family Day, to 5K Runs, to the Marketplace Craft Shows.

Second time coming here, the company I work for rents a spot outside to hold our family day. Very nice place for a gathering

This was a beautiful place for my neighbors wedding.

Beautiful place to have gatherings!

Went for the marketplace. Beautiful!

Southdown is very picturesque and prime photographic backdrop!

Dear readers, this old plantation is a one of a kind! My father and I spend several hours enjoying the tour given by Ed our guide. A little about Ed, he lived in the house as a young man in his youth before the place became a museum and is a wealth of knowledge of its past. Ed is a youthful 86 and has stories of the house, different items in the house and of the people of the area. Each room is dedicated to something different in the past. The musical machine at the base of the stairs, the gorgeous tiffany stained glass, the beautiful artistic ceramics, the Spanish bedroom, the Senators office, are but a few of the items to see, dont miss the Beautiful Houma Indian exhibit. Give yourself time, and Ed will really make it worth your time with his stories, and you can congratulate him, he is a great grandpa again. Thanks Ed for a great tour that certainly made my day!

Lovely for an outdoor wedding.

Love all.events here beautiful place

A beautiful old place for a nice walk or a day out if theres an event.
