Historic Latta Plantation

Bring History to Life...

Historic Latta Plantation is a living history farm and museum. We provide education programs, daily tours, summer camps, workshops, and special events for over 38,000 visitors a year. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Historic Latta Plantation brings history to life with a working farm that includes rare and endangered breeds of historic livestock, cotton gardens and a kitchen garden. The site includes the original plantation home, a kitchen house, smoke house, well house, reproduction slave quarters, and barns. The site provides visitors with the opportunity to step back in time and view what life was like in the North Carolina backcountry.

Historic Latta Plantation is a living history farm and historic site and the last remaining Catawba River Plantation open to the public. Originally known as Latta Place, the 742 acre cotton plantation was home to the James Latta family until 1837. The Sample family owned the home from 1853 until 1922, renaming the plantation Riverside, because of its proximity to the Catawba River. Today, Latta is a living history farm and museum that brings history to life for visitors of all ages.
