Oakland Plantation, originally known as the Jean Pierre Emmanuel Prud'homme Plantation, is a French Colonial Creole plantation complex in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, built beginning in 1818 as a cotton estate worked by enslaved labor. It is considered one of the best-preserved examples of a French Creole plantation complex, retaining its main house along with outbuildings including slave quarters, an overseer's house and a general store that once served as a post office. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2001, it is administered by the National Park Service as part of Cane River Creole National Historical Park.
