Conveniently located near the geographical center of the City of
Lafayette, Louisiana, this home (listed on the National Register
of Historic Places) survived the Civil War and is an important
entity to the history and culture of this city. This home has
been owned by Dr. Francis Sterling Mudd of Virginia, who was a relative of
Dr. Samuel Mudd of John Wilkes Booth fame, a Lt. Governor of
Louisiana and two mayors of Lafayette.

The Mouton Plantation House
|
The present owners have restored this Acadian style plantation
house to its original configuration, taking into consideration
some of the changes that were too complicated to undo. Period
antiques, primarily of Louisiana French origin, as well as
comparable American pieces, compliment this unique architectural
gem. Collections of pottery, glass, and antique weapons further
enhance the interior of this house. Adjacent to the rear of the plantation house is the Carriage House. Located in the Carriage House are three rooms, each with a private bath.
