Throughout the years men from elsewhere have come to West Feliciana. Their reasons for coming were as varied as the houses they built; homes that can be seen as monuments to the lives they made for themselves here.
The cluster of notable 19th-century gardens in West Feliciana are outstanding examples of what unlimited time, wealth, labor, and horticultural knowledge, combined with the rich loess soil and a happy climate, could produce in antebellum culture. These gardens remain monuments to past glories and to the hardiness of plantings.
Select antiques dealers will be housed in three locations in the historic district: Feliciana Masonic Lodge on Proserity, Market Hall on Royal Street, and Jackson Hall on Ferdinand Street.
