Investigation Launched After Historic Nottoway Plantation in Louisiana Engulfed by Fire

In a dramatic turn of events, the Historic Nottoway Plantation—the largest antebellum mansion in the United States—was reduced to ashes on Thursday, following a fierce blaze that firefighters battled for over 18 hours.

This plantation, a once-celebrated symbol of Southern grandeur, has faced increasing scrutiny in recent years from critics who argue it romanticizes the antebellum South while glossing over the grim realities of slavery integral to its history.

In a curious twist, some individuals took to social media to express their joy at the destruction. One tweet, perhaps emblematic of this sentiment, read:

The Nottoway plantation, the largest Antebellum plantation has burnt to the ground.

The fire was righteous and cleansing. I hope those poor souls may rest easier.

Wedding and socials were held at this mass murder and grotesque torture sites.

As Nottoway Plantation burns, it feels like an apt time to remind folx…

This is what I see when you decide to celebrate & sterilize forced labor camps.

Some onlookers even gathered at the site, seemingly reveling in the event.

According to reports from Fox 8, the firefighting efforts extended into Friday morning, with water still being poured over the collapsed remnants of the 165-year-old mansion more than 18 hours after the flames first erupted.

Fire officials indicated that the blaze, which began around 2 p.m. on Thursday, rekindled around 6 p.m., rapidly consuming the roof and leaving only rubble where the iconic structure once stood.

“This is a total loss,” stated Iberville Parish President Chris Daigle. “Some staff members stated they had gone into the museum and there was smoke. When they returned, the whole room was in flames.”

While the fire is believed to have started in a second-floor bedroom, the exact cause remains unknown.

Constructed in 1859 by sugar magnate John Hampden Randolph, Nottoway Plantation was a sprawling estate covering over 53,000 square feet, featuring 64 rooms, 365 doors and windows, and 22 striking white columns overlooking the Mississippi River. It served as an emblem of opulent Southern living while simultaneously reminding us of the dark history of slavery that underpinned its existence.

In recent years, the mansion was a venue for weddings, events, and guided tours, but thankfully, no injuries or fatalities have been reported in this incident.
