Notes
  • Significance: The plantation is important for its association with early Black American history. It was established by a well-to-do black woman named Marie Therese Coin-Coin. She was a slave for most of her life, and was a free woman for the last twenty-five years of the 18th century. She was at one time married to her slave master, Pierre Thomas Metoyer; they had nine children. She later became a wealthy businesswoman and slaveholder. The house was built by Louis Metoyer, Marie Therese's grandson.
