Creole Plantation

The Creole people painted their plantation houses bright colours.  They were built on stilts and the basements were used for storage.  The main (2nd) floor housed offices, dining and bedrooms.  Business was conducted in the bedrooms.  For 4 generations, this plantation was run by the women of the family and run very successfully.

The crop in this area is sugar cane.
