The Story of The Cabin  

Through the efforts, ideas, the love,
sweat and patience of friends and family,
you are able to enjoy a small sampling of 
Southern Louisiana history.


The Cabin Restaurant
is unique in all the world.

It began as one of the ten original slave dwellings 
of the Monroe Plantation.

St. Joseph's School House 

The first Catholic school 
for children of color 
in Louisiana.  

Established in 1867 by the
Sisters of the Sacred Heart
in Convent, Louisiana and it is
registered as a
 National Historic Property.

Two slave cabins, both from 
Helvetia Plantation
flank the school and the 
main dining, which opens onto the courtyard via several French doors.
