We toured St. Joseph plantation last year and loved it so much we decided to come back when the sister grounds, Felicity Plantation, re-opened after Hurricane Ida. Mrs. Sylvia took us on the tour (one she wrote and put together herself for the plantation) and it was absolutely wonderful. St. Joseph & Felicity are family owned/run and the feel of the tour is much preferred to than other larger plantations on river road. Family stories are shared alongside historical details and merge into a visit that makes you feel and understand what it was like living in the home. Both are also filled with filming locations for many movies and tv shows which was cool to see and recognize. Absolutely terrific! Thank you Mrs. Sylvia.

This is a wonderful location! The house is a treasure. It is a great example of plantations on the 'German Coast,' but also has many unique characteristics (especially as pertains to family history and architecture), which adds to the personal charm of the property. Adrian, our guide, is a real gem! Very well informed, welcoming, and enthusiastically shared her knowledge with us (even taking extra time with us to answer our many questions).

It was a gorgeous day & the grounds were fabulous! Not to mention, a beautiful home! Our tour guide was amazing, knowledgeable. As she shared the history of this beautiful home it’s like I traveled in time. It’s as if my mind was transported into the time period. I loved that she shared stories shared by some descendants of previous inhabitants of the plantation home. My daughter & I had a wonderful time & recommend touring St. Joseph Plantation to everyone!

We had great guides, thanks Anne and Adrienne!! We were the only couple there at the 11:00 tour, so it was like we had private tours!! Anne was very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the property and surrounding area for the St Joseph Plantation, while Adrienne (who is a relative of the owners) was our guide for Felicity. Adrienne was very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the family history! She gave us a tour even though they were getting the house ready for a family wedding. We actually meet some of the family who were visiting the house for the wedding. Both of these plantations are definitely worth visiting.

This was a remarkably entertaining and learning tour. This is a must see plantation, would not have known about it if we hadn’t passed it. We had a private tour since there were only two of us. We learned so much of the history of the family and the sugar cane fields.

We toured both homes, and thoroughly enjoyed the tours. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. They took their time, did not rush us and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend taking these tours, but be sure to bring cash if you plan to tip. There’s no ATM on site.
