Oakland Plantation, originally known as the Jean Pierre Emmanuel Prud'homme Plantation, and also known as Bermuda, is a historic plantation in an unincorporated area of Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. Founded as a forced-labor farm worked by enslaved Black people for White owners, it is one of the nation's best and most intact examples of a French Creole cotton plantation complex.[3] The Oakland Plantation is now owned by the National Park Service as part of the Cane River Creole National Historical Park.[4]
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 29, 1979.[5] It is designated as a notable destination on the state's Louisiana African American Heritage Trail.[6] It was designated a National Historic Landmark on January 3, 2001.[3]
