Laurel Valley Plantation has had a long line of owners, but what makes it different from most Southern plantations is continuity. The land changed hands, but sugar production and labor control never truly stopped. The plantation began in the early 1800s under Étienne de Boré, a pivotal figure in Louisiana history. De Boré is often credited with proving granulated sugar could be produced commercially in Louisiana, helping turn sugar into one of the state’s most profitable and brutal industries. U

At Laurel Valley Plantation, the slave homes were built in the mid-1800s from cypress cut straight from the surrounding swamps, raised slightly off the ground to survive flooding and rot. They were simple, cramped structures, often one or two rooms meant to hold entire families. After emancipation, these same houses did not disappear. They were reused by Black sharecroppers and later by immigrant laborers, including Irish, Italian, and Chinese workers brought in to sustain the sugar industry. So

At Laurel Valley Plantation in Thibodaux, Louisiana the historic cabins — the enslaved quarters — were built using local timber, especially cypress wood. Cypress was chosen because it’s naturally resistant to rot and insects, which helped these structures survive for over a century of Louisiana’s humid climate and many hurricanes.  Historically, the cabins fall into a couple of different types: the older Creole-style cabins from the mid-1800s and the shotgun-style tenant houses from the late 18
