Visitor Center and the Old Sugar Mill

The crumbling brick ruins of a sugar mill built in 1829 by Bernard de Marigny de Mandeville, founder of the nearby town of Mandeville, suggest an interesting history for this site, and indeed there is. The wealthy Marigny developed this area across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans as a sugar plantation until 1852.

The Visitor Center has a small museum inside and tells the history of the area along with some handmade tools and furniture. The remains of the Old Sugar Mill stands in front of the Visitor Center.
