What you can expect

Felicity Plantation is the sister plantation to St. Joseph and is part of the Louisiana Sugarcane Museum. The home was built between 1844 and 1847 and is a beautiful combination of Greek Revival with strong Creole influence. Felite’s father, Valcour Aime, is said to have financed the building of this home as a wedding gift. Like St. Joseph, sugarcane is still farmed here today. The Waguespack family bought it 1877 and in 1901 a corporation was formed to include both St. Joseph and Felicity and the 2500 acres. It is still owned by this corporation.

In addition to sugar farming, Felicity is known for several film and tv projects. These include Skeleton Key, 12 Years a Slave, parts of the remake of Roots, Underground, and Filthy Rich.
