Welcome to Frogmore Plantation
What's Happening Now
Harvest Season Coming Soon!!
We are in “high cotton” this year, as the old expression goes which means we have a great crop, but is also synonymous with good health or a wonderful family. The blooming season is underway with white and pink blooms until mid-September when the harvest on Frogmore should begin. Other plantations in the area could be harvesting sooner, depending on planting date, variety, and climate. Come drag a sack through the fields like in olden days or view the only completely computerized cotton gin in the nation at Frogmore. Harvest should begin September 15 – November 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday – Saturday. Please arrive by 1:30 p.m. to finish touring before closing at 3 p.m.
9/15/2010 to 11/15/2010
9:00am - 3:00pm
Contrast a working cotton plantation of the early 1800's with a modern cotton plantation and gin of today. Follow the early Natchez planters and their slaves through an evolution from the wilderness to a thriving 1850's cotton plantation, and then beyond the War Between the States to a struggling new way of life.
Listen to the slave customs, secret music, and their surprising relationships with the master, mistress, and overseer. Walk through authentically furnished slave quarters, rare steam gin, and other plantation dependencies.
Then journey forward to the present as you tour an 1800 acre cotton plantation with a computerized 900 bales-per-day cotton gin. Frogmore is the only tour of its kind in the South and receives rave reviews by all attendees. We have received the Louisiana Tourism award in 1999 and have been featured in Country Discoveries magazine along with AAA Southern Traveler, La. Cultural Vistas, as well as many other magazines and PBS documentaries.
We are handicapped accessible and have a golf cart for the disabled.
Translations for French and German visitors include professional videos filmed on site of both historical and modern details.
Located in Louisiana, just across the Mississippi River at Natchez.
