Join us in visiting Locust Grove Plantation Cemetery, one of the many historic cemeteries in Louisiana, and learn about its inhabitants. The plantation, once owned by Luther Smith and Anna Davis Smith, sister of Jefferson Davis, became the final resting place for many figures important in the early history of Louisiana. Experience history through figures like Sarah Knox Taylor—the daughter of President Zachary Taylor and short-lived wife of Jefferson Davis—who died at Locust Grove Plantation. See the grave of Major General Eleazar Ripley, one of the earliest generals of the young country, who invaded Canada during the War of 1812. After one of the largest battles in Canada, he was known as The Hero of the Battle of Lundy’s Lane. Locust Grove State Historic Site will be open this day free of charge. Please keep in mind that the park has no facilities and no site staff. Time and place: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Bains-Ristroph Road off Highway 10, St. Francisville. For more information, call Audubon State Historic Site at 1-225-635-3739.
