Lakeport Plantation is the last remaining pre-civil war plantation home in the State of Arkansas that still faces the Mississippi River in the traditional way.

Begun in approximately 1858, Lakeport Plantation offers a rare peek into the state’s history that has the potential to offer visitors a glimpse into the livelihood of antebellum cotton plantations.

Constructed in the Greek Revival style, the most magnificent attribute is it’s grand scale. The historic structure also contains much of it’s original fabric which gives professionals today the opportunity to practice the best known means of conservation.

WER renovated the plantation in four phases to turn it into a museum and cultural center in Southeast Arkansas - run by Arkansas State University.
