Incredible historic architecture and house, has stood for over 200 years. The house survived Through the civil war and Great Depression only to end up crumbling away in the 21st century. It was built in 1810 for Stephen Duncan one of the wealthiest cotton and sugar planters in the antebellum south. Originally born in Pennsylvania he owned over 15 plantations. When the civil war broke out Stephen Duncan sided with the union and was essentially ostracized out of Mississippi. He passed away in 1867 in New York City. A very wealthy man having been able to retain all his wealth throughout the civil war for siding and aiding with the union. Very fascinating man. Thank you for watching!

Kappy, Thanks for this truly well done video! You showed the place to great advantage. I formerly owned this property. I had to sell it after we got part way in our renovation. What you call the basement is actually the first floor and was used for living spaces. We had a drastic financial reversal and lost all the funds required to complete the work. It was a stressful and VERY sad day!! The house is very unusual mainly due to it being added to /altered at least twice over its long history.The new absentee owner has done NOTHING to complete the renovation during her 25 years of owning it. We sincerely hope she will sell it to someone who will love it and restore it. I miss it greatly. The property is serenely beautiful. NOTE: It is NOT currently for sale. Also, it cannot be seen from any public road.

Years ago, my mother and I visited a plantation museum in NC. We had a very nice lady guide. As we stood on the land near a barn I think it was, we heard “nothing”. No birds or crickets NOTHING. It was eerily silent. We were moved and felt a little heavy spiritually.

My Mom was from the Old South, and was born over 102 years ago. I visited where she grew up twice, once in June, 1959, and again in March, 2000. The small town she grew up in was Interlachen, Florida, and house she grew up in was built sometime in the late 1800s. That section of town was covered in Oak Trees with Spanish Moss, in a small forst that was disected by an active railroad. Kappy, that is one hell of a beautiful place, and I completely understand why you are so taken by it. But what the hell, last week it was near miss cave ins, and this week a Venemous Snake mere feet from you, you have stones of stainless steel Kappy. Oh hell ya I hope somebody restores that place back to the way it would have looked 205 years ago, man Kappy.

Then they'd step out onto the porch with their mint julep or lemonade to sit in one of the many rocking chairs.

Whether it is abadoned subway stations deep within the city or stately old homes out in the woods like this, I just cannot get enough of abandoned places! There a mystique, an allure to such places that I find entrancing, hypnotizing even. Its the sense of absence of the lives that moved through those places day in and day out, leaving only silence once they are gone. Thank you to folks like you who share this amazing footage with us.

This is one house I hope you follow up on. Hopefully it will get renovated. Looks like someone started. As old houses go this has only one main floor and no upstairs, so a much easier renovation. Once the roof is fixed up there would be time to work on it. A museum house for sure. Tourists would gladly pay to go through this place.

These entire Plantation homes in the South are more like Holocaust memorials for the Black slaves that toiled the fields from sunrise to sundown in the Deep South. Having a second story was advantageous for the master of the house to observe the entire Plantation to make sure everything was running smoothly. The Slaves were bought and sold on these Plantations. They were dragged away from their weeping and pleading family members when the master sold them off. Children were ripped from the arms of their mothers and fathers never to be seen again. No single 'family' would be spared this cruel and inhumane indignity. Most often the auction was held right in the front of the main house. The wife of the owner would serve iced tea to the buying guests, with ice being a luxury in those days. Those slaves that refused to go, were whipped into submission. The front yard of these houses were also used to whip disobedience slaves or run away slaves. It served a lot of purposes. The Confederate milisha also used the front of these houses to hang traitors and abolitionists that worked to end slavery and their way of life. Surprisingly not all family members living in the South supported the notion of slavery. They corresponded with abolitionists in the North. When they were discovered the Confederate milisha would drag them out of the main entrance of the house and string them up and hang them from the same oak trees in the front of the house. The bodies were left up there for days to instill fear in anyone else that chooses to do the same. Young men of fighting age were all required to serve the Confederate milisha. Those that tried to hide on the Plantation and not fight the Northern aggression, were looked upon as sympathizes of the Union and when discovered were also hung from the large oak trees in the front. Slaves that tried to excape were whipped just outside the main house for all the slaves to see. The main house served as the focal point of the Plantation. The female Black slaves were raped in their tiny cabins on a regular basis by the white overseers and even the owners of the Plantation. That is why most African Americans today are mixed and rarely pure African. Even someone as dark as rapper, P. Diddy, has white ancestors as seen on an episode of 'Finding Your Roots' on PBS. When the Black children reached a certain age, they were sold to a neighboring Plantation in the area, or taken into the main city to be sold at auction. This provided the owner much needed revenue to purchase more land or to pay of debts. The very few Slaves that worked in the Master's house received extra perks and the male workers were called 'Uncle', as a term of endearment. In '12 years A Slave', we saw how the owner of the Plantation with his wife used psychological torture to demand that their slaves picked as much cotton as possible. Those that did not meet their quotas were reprimanded and all privileges taken away sometimes including their young children. Many of these Plantations have the unmarked graves of the slaves that worked and died on the Plantation, many of whom longed to return home to Africa to see their families they left behind before they were captured in Africa, and put in chains and loaded onto ships packed like sardines for the long perilous journey to the America's. Those that didn't make it, overcome by illness or babies born on the ship were thrown overboard. They needed to be ready to work like oxen once they arrived in America. They were just dead weight and were dragging the ships. Sometimes to escape pirates at sea, they would dump a lot of the slaves so that they could speed up the ship and out maneuver the pirate ships. Although they lost a lot of their cargo, it was better than losing the ship. African slaves were plenty and they could always go back and get another shipment of new slaves. Waring African tribes always captured the weaker tribes and sold them to Arab traders who worked as middle men. The Arab middle men tried to convert the African slaves to Islam before selling them to the White captains who then loaded them onto ships for the New World. Once they reached the American shores they were washed together in large groups and cooking oil was lathered onto the bodies of the men so that their muscles looked more appealing. It was important that they fetch a good price at the auctions before the Plantation owners loaded them on wagons and taken to the Plantations. It was a very lucrative trade. Most of these new slaves didn't know a word of the language of their new masters, which was mostly English in America, and so fear and intimidation was used to get thru to them so that they could be very productive. The female slaves were encouraged to have as many children, as this was another source of revenue when their masters could sell them for a profit. As stated above the the large oak trees provided the shade for the auctions on the Plantations. So, I wouldn't exactly say these are romantic places. These are equivalent to the holocaust concentration camps of Germany in WWll. It is high time they are recognized as such!! I am not Black to understand what happened here, but I am human. To glorify these holocaust memorials is sinful and deplorable. For the sake of history these Plantation houses should remain but only for education and holocaust memorials. Very much like what Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen and Dachau. Imagine if the internment camps in Germany were turned into beautifully landscaped gardens and the buildings filled with posh furniture and weddings and wine tasting parties are held in?? Yet, in America that is exactly what goes on! I too live in Louisiana so I am very familiar with what goes on in these Plantation homes. I think it is SICK!. White folk show up in these Plantation homes as it reminds them of their glorious past and they would like to relive again in grand style like the ol' glory days of the Antebellum period..And oh, how romantic!

@Dan-xx5jq Год назад

it was used for animals especially during the winter. The heat from the animals was great as warming up the house.

@daniel_sc1024 Год назад

Heating the house in wintertime was not an issue in south Louisiana. Animals would have been kept in separate buildings. Sometimes the raised basement might have a dining room, such as at Shadows-on-the-Teche. But otherwise it was used for storage and other utilitarian purposes, with the family living in the story above. The raised basement also protected the living quarters above from flood waters during hurricanes.

@lisaknell1809 Год назад

Considering the shutters in the basement along with the built in shelving units, my guess is that this was perhaps a dining room such as the one at Shadows. There also looks to be an original fireplace there.

@daniel_sc1024 Год назад

@@lisaknell1809 The other reason why the living quarters were elevated (besides flooding) would be to escape the dampness. It's also possible that in later years people retrofitted the house so it was used differently than originally intended. By the looks of it, though, I'm guessing that house has sat empty for many, many decades. Oddly, I haven't been able to find this particular plantation house on the internet or in my history book on plantation houses.

This is one of my favorites Kappy and we bring visitors here often cuz the setting is so stunning. The downstairs room was the kitchen and has been used as a barn. The other room is the dining room. I am sorry you didn’t get to this place 5-8 yrs ago. There was a very old outbuilding where that newer thing to the side is. Was probably a kitchen and wash house. The new owners - if you can believe it - tore it down and put that new thing there which I just hate. The walls were stripped looking for gold buried in the walls. They supposedly didn’t find any !

This is one beautiful home. I certainly hope it is restored someday. Reminds me of a house that is similar in age and style where the dining room and other entertaining spaces were on the lower level and the upper level had private quarters for the family. One exciting thing I did see - the mounting steps a few feet away from the house!! A horse or carriage would come up next to that and a lady or gentleman would have a much easier time getting on the horse or into the carriage from the right height on the steps. So cool to see!!!Thanks Kappy! And hello to Ruby!!

What a true gem of a house, my favourite to date. Just that it's still pretty intact is miraculous, looks as if it would be fairly easy to restore. I was wondering what kind of trees they were with the floaty bits! Very picturesque and stunningly beautiful. Would so love to visit the deep South although the snakes are a bit scary. Thanks Kappy, your explores are truly the best. And it's freezing in England, would welcome some of that heat.

@ittybittykittymama7582 Год назад

Hey Kappy, what a lovely old plantation house! The ancient live oaks with the snowdrops blooming beneath their spreading branches are lovely. I think most old houses in the South have their carpet of nodding snowdrops every spring. The bottom story with its brick columns to protect it from floods speaks of the hurricanes which might bring another type of construction to ruin. It was better to save more intricate and ornamental details for safer, upper floors. It's too bad Rosa was built on the blood, back-breaking labor and suffering of so many others who were not welcomed guests, but slaves. If Master Duncan was the wealthiest of the South's cotton planters, he doubtless had hundreds of slaves plowing the land to plant the cotton, then growing, picking and processing the cotton which made him rich. In my book, that makes him mighty poor. That old mounting block in the front yard is nice and might have warranted a closer inspection. Oh, the stories it could tell! In case you don't know, that block and others like it allowed visitors to get in and out of their carriages more easily, as well as getting on and off their horses without falling. There would have been a small, black child whose job it was to make sure guests were appropriately welcomed to Rosa Plantation. Dear Kappy, the excitement in your voice is so sweet! I can almost see your face lit up by the smiles that overflow from your voice! You sound like it's Christmas morning and I'm very glad you got an opportunity to realize your dream of filming here. Oh, a little snake! So the house isn't abandoned, after all! Poor little thing, he's so scared of your light! Dear explorer, I can see it's time for a short lesson on snakes. You should have some information if you're going to wander around the derelict houses of the South. First off, that is most definitely not a copperhead, but more about them in a bit. Long, skinny snakes like that one, with pointed tails and narrow heads are usually only dangerous to mice and lizards. Like my Mama said, they'll make you hurt yourself if you only freak out every time you see a snake. Non-venomous snakes are usually very gentle and they'll let you know if they're not in the mood for hellos. I have a garter snake in my garden and when I come upon him, usually in the spring, I gently pick him up and he curls among my fingers while we discuss the state of the garden. He has lived among the stones beside the bees' house for several years now. I'm glad to have him near. He is small enough to eat the slugs and worms he finds there and I enjoy knowing he's around. My husband endures his presence, but he's not a snake lover. Shorter, thicker snakes with blunt heads and tails are usually venomous, but even they are more interested in mice than in you. Snakes have to invest a lot of energy into producing venom. It is very precious to them. They are unwilling to waste it on humans unless they are forced to defend their lives. They would much rather just scare you away so they can just get away from you. Venomous snakes are not good to have on your place because they are dangerous. We usually move them to a place where they and we will be safer. We actually move non-venomous snakes onto our property, as they keep down mice and chipmunks, which can do a lot of damage, especially to our young fruit trees, by girdling them. Girdling is when a small rodent chews away the tender back low on a young trees trunk, completely cutting the cambium layer of bark which carries sugar from the roots, where it is stored, to the tree's branches, where it's used to grow leaves to produce clorophyll. Trees which are girdled will die and must be removed. Chipmunks are cute, but they are not good neighbors in a fruit orchard. Snakes keep them in control and allow us to grow apple, pear, plum and cherry trees. Take it from an old Southern girl, Kappy, the general rule about snakes is that you shouldn't mess with them at all and if you happen to find one, you just leave it alone! It is against the law here in Tennessee to harass, harm or kill any snake because they're so beneficial to the ecosystem of the forests. I suspect other states have similar statutes to protect these beneficial creatures, except maybe Florida, which is being overrun by pythons which escapes or were set free from the pet trade and are breeding freely in the warm climate. Like iguanas which are ruining the lovely estates and public spaces of South Florida, pythons are a nuisance and are killed upon sight throughout the State. About copperheads, Kappy, they're a tricky lot. They are quite pretty, as they are copper in color and have lovely markings on their backs. They don't grow much over a foot long and are rather slim, unless they've eaten recently. Adults won't bite unless they are provoked, but the babies are downright hateful in that they are always hungry and are extremely aggressive until they learn how to hunt for themselves, striking at literally anything they see moving. They'll strike at a fish being reeled in, refusing to let it go. In that case, it's best for the hapless fisherman to cut his line so the coppery thieves can swim away with their prize. For the life of me, I don't know how they manage to eat the fish they swiped! Hmmm! Now, as you are often wandering around taking pictures and not watching your feet, let's discuss rattlesnakes. If you are focusing more on your shot than your feet and you hear a rattle like BB's in a handful of leaves, STAND STILL! Once you have established the location of the rattler (look very carefully) you can move slowly away from its location. Rattlers won't bother you unless they've recently shed their skin and their eye scales haven't shed yet. This makes them jumpy, as they are quite blind. They'll strike at any movement that might mean danger to them. Last but most definitely not least are the water moccasins. These ill-tempered reptiles come in patterns resembling regular water snakes or in jet black. Both color variations have a white lining in their mouth, hence the name "cottonmouth." These snakes are almost always found near fresh water or in trees overhanging water. They are downright cranky, striking more quickly than other venomous snakes. If you hear a hiss and see that white mouth on display, move very slowly back the way you came until you're safely out of reach (two times the length of the snake). Kappy, my friend, you should not be afraid of snakes, but you should respect them. You're quite liable to find them in old houses in the winter, spending the winter in a pile of clothes or magazines or even hiding with their eggs in an old sofa. I wonder that you don't see them more often. It's possible that they hear you first and take to a hiding place. You're more likely to have a bad reaction from a wasp sting than to get bitten by a venomous snake, Kappy. Use common sense and you should be just fine. The main thing is not to panic. You might fall down stairs or something! This is a beautiful old house, so I hope someone saves it. Thanks for a great explore, Kappy, but you know how I feel about these old planters' houses. They're all built of suffering and sorrow, making me sad. I am deeply ashamed that I am descended from slave owners, and while I cannot atone for their sins, I can work to help keep such atrocities from happening today. "Those who refuse to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it." Much love to you and Ruby. Becca 🥰

Awesome post! I particularly liked the information regarding the Garter snakes. I could sure use some at my house. These rascally chipmunks and red squirrels are causing so much damage. Here in Michigan, I wonder how they would survive winter. Maybe “over-winter” them in our RV where the critters made a hotel in the engine. The garter snake may also be happy hanging out in our shed where the critters have chewed holes in the walls. I wonder if Amazon sells them 😂

@ittybittykittymama7582 Год назад

@@MeMyselfAndUs903 You've probably already got some. They live as far north as parts of Canada, as long as the permafrost isn't too deep. They emerge from their underground dens in spring by large numbers to mate and lay their eggs. My little friend sleeps in a jumble of rocks and broken bricks beneath a large bush in our garden. He seems to be quite content in our organic choices, as we don't poison the slugs he loves to eat. He is only three years old, so until now, slugs are about all he can manage, but there are other prey items he can choose from now that he has grown. If you see a little, grey snake in your garden, only a foot long and easily fitting through a drinking straw, that's a garter snake. Older juveniles have faint markings on their back, the markings growing darker as they mature. Try some mothballs to discourage the chipmunks and squirrels. Simply put some near places they are chewing on. We put them in old socks so the rain doesn't melt them so badly. Bear in mind, mothballs will kill cats if they are present in a place where the car could be trapped. The vet told us that they can cause liver damage to cats, who try to avoid their pungent odor. Hope this helps, Mary! Keep on exploring!
