The 1790 plantation—the intact complex with 37 buildings.

Evergreen is a house in Wallace, Louisiana. The 1790 plantation—the intact complex with 37 buildings. Its accounts name only a collective — the evergreen dead. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 2 legends, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors.

Evergreen is the intact plantation — the thirty-seven buildings on the National Register, the twenty-two slave cabins in their double row, the most complete antebellum sugar complex in the South. The 1790 Creole house remodeled Greek Revival, the garçonnières and pigeonnieres, the thirteen-hundred-foot oak allee to the cabins — the layout that Haiti brought to Louisiana.
The cabins are the significance — the only place the slave village exists unchanged, the cypress houses where four or five lived, where the freed people stayed as workers until 1947. The landmark status is the recognition — the agricultural acreage landmarked like Gettysburg, the working cane plantation that's also the memorial. Joseph McGill slept in a cabin — the Slave Dwelling Project's attention to the buildings that keep the enslaved's architecture.
The file keeps Evergreen: the 1790 house, the twenty-two cabins, the oak allee, and the landmark designation.
Evergreen is the archive's intact-plantation file — the complex that kept everything.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Evergreen is the archive's intact-plantation file — the slave village that survived.
A plantation keeps its cabins — the file's suggestion being that Evergreen's hold is the completeness: the big house and the quarters together, the cane still growing, and the landmark that knows the fields are the history too.
