Welcome
Welcome to Woodland Plantation Museum. We are located in LaPlace, Louisiana, about 30 minutes from New Orleans, along the Mississippi River in Louisiana’s River Parishes. We’re glad you’re here. Whether you’re planning a visit or learning from afar, we invite you to explore how we interpret history, land, and cultural memory.
Our Mission
Preserving Cultural memory
The Woodland Plantation Museum tells the intertwined stories of the 1811 German Coast Uprising, the legacy of Kid Ory, and the plantation-to-petrochemical continuum through descendant-led care, exhibitions, research, and public engagement.
We preserve and activate cultural memory through trauma-informed practices that support reflection and learning while holding difficult history with honesty and respect.
