Kenilworth Plantation

As you drive along Bayou Road, you cannot help but notice a stately French Creole plantation home framed by towering trees.

This is the Kenilworth Plantation House, which is on the National Register of Historic Places as one of the few houses designed with this style to remain. A sign on the front of the property states the house was built in 1759, even though the historic register lists 1820. As with any house with as long a history as Kenilworth, there are stories abound of it being haunted. One of the most popular stories is of a headless man and woman who climb the stairs each time there is a full moon to wander through the rooms.

Address: 2931 Bayou Rd.
