The Woodland Plantation is a place full of rich history, warm southern charm and the area is home to the best red fishing in the world. Built in 1834, by William Johnson, a sea captain/pirate from Nova Scotia, who had come to the Deep South in the late 1700’s to work for the Revolutionary war hero Juan Ronquillo.
The Woodland Plantation sits right on the west bank of the Mississippi River and was originally built as a sugarcane plantation, and had one of the most modern mills of its time. The plantation has seen its share of changes over its 180+ years of existence. From being a major hub during the time of the slave trade, to a haven for bootleggers during prohibition, as well as withstanding many hurricanes and floods over the years, the plantation has survived and is one of the last Mississippi river plantations south of New Orleans.
The Creppel Family purchased the property in 1997 and completely restored it in 1997 and 1998 and reopened in 1999. It can accommodate any group type with spacious private rooms and multiple condos and houses on the property.
