Description
Melrose Plantation was built in 1796 by Louis Metoyer, one of the sons of the largest and most wealthy Creole, or freed slave families in Louisiana. They themselves were slave owners. When Metoyer died in 1838, Melrose Plantation and its land, crops, businesses, and other assets were worth over $100,000. This does not include the other land and businesses owned by the Metoyer family. Original photo by Nadalyn Larsen.
