Rosedown  gardens were the province of Martha Turnbull throughout her life. The Turnbulls’ honeymoon in Europe included great formal gardens of France and Italy, an influence seen in Martha's activities at Rosedown. The gardens grew out from the house over a span of many decades, to cover approximately 28 acres. In the 19th century, Rosedown was one of the few privately maintained formal gardens in the United States.

Homemade pralines, fleur-de-lis gifts and much more.

This 15-mile loop will give you a taste of the Feliciana hills without a commitment of lots of miles. At the end of the ride, you can enjoy the beautiful gardens of Rosedown Plantation.

Rosedown Plantation, encompassing 374 acres in St. Francisville, is one of the most intact, documented examples of a domestic plantation complex in the South. It embodies the lifestyle of the antebellum South's wealthiest planters in a way very few other surviving properties can.
Tours and meeting-reception areas are available.
