Historic St. Francisville

Visit America’s best kept secret, St. Francisville, and its popular state-owned Historic sites, Audubon’s Oakley House (left) and Rosedown Plantation most any day of the week. For more information, go to www.lastateparks.com

America’s Quaint Country Community Just north of Baton Rouge lies the historic town of St. Francisville in West Feliciana Parish.

Developed atop a narrow ridge on the Mississippi River, it was the commercial and cultural center of the surrounding plantation country. Before it was annexed to the rest of Louisiana as part of the United States, St. Francisville was shifted among France, England and Spain.

It is a popular tourist destination, as well as, a growing community with beautiful terrain.

Housing opportunities range from the historic to Lake Rosemound to The Bluffs on Thompson Creek, a master planned community that combines an Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course into an upscale residential community.
