Poplar Grove Plantation

An Oriental inspired pavilion built in New Orleans for an international exposition, it is the closest plantation home to Baton Rouge, located on the bank of the Mississippi River only minutes from Louisiana's capital city.

An exquisitely restored structure, it retains the warmth of a private home yet is accessible to the public. Poplar Grove is furnished with museum quality antiques and art. Poplar Grove's lush gardens provide the perfect setting for your visit.

Built as an exotic World's Fair pavilion, now a stately private home, Poplar Grove Plantation offers tours, group dining, and meeting space, by appointment. It is typically used for private parties, weddings, company picnics, and similar special events.
