Hey kids, join the fun, learn to paint, and create a special piece of art that you can take home and share with your family and friends! Sign up and join us at Oakland Plantation for a free painting workshop for children ages 8 to 12 from our friend Annabel Jones on Saturday, March 7.

“Cane River Creole National Historical Park is excited to host this free painting workshop for children ages 8 to 12,” said Chief of Interpretation Barbara Justice. “We believe that all children can develop a love and appreciation of art when they are given the opportunity to explore their own creativity.”

This FREE workshop will be held at Oakland Plantation from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and is limited to 20 participants. All supplies will be provided, however registration is required. To sign up call 318-352-0383 x316. Oakland Plantation is located at 4386 Highway 494, Natchez, Louisiana.

The grounds of Oakland and Magnolia Plantations are open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Nearly 80 original buildings remain, many open for self-guided tours including several that are historically furnished. The park also offers a cell phone tour. Park staff conducts daily tours of the plantation grounds and historically furnished rooms in the Oakland Main House. The Magnolia Main House is privately owned and is not open to the public.
