The Houmas House was built in 1840.
John Burnside bought the Houmas House by paying $1 million dollars.
The Houmas House was destroyed by a great flood from the Mississippi River in 1927, but in 1940 George B. Crozat bought it. In the late 1800s William Porcher Miles made the Houmas House give away 20 million pounds of sugar every year.
It cost $20.00 to see the mansion and gardens, and it cost $10.00 to see gardens and grounds only.
