just watched this one. Really nice. I could live there if not for the heat. That big square over the dining table is a fan that servants would pull back & forth.

Your 'pop-goes-the-weasel spinner', is a yarn winder. The yarn was created on the spinning wheel, then wound on the winder, to create a skein of yarn.

Ah, thanks for the information. Will try to point that out the next time I see one.

I'm an old house and antique lover. And I'm old. I enjoy your tours, because you're so enthusiastic, and informative. You're right up my alley!

If that’s the plantation that sit in the middle of south Baton Rouge on Nicholson I used to live on River road and drive past it all the time. It always fascinated me. I used to live in White Castle/Dorseyville near the nottoway plantation as well. It always rubbed me the wrong way then and it still does now, when I realized white people were renting them out for events and an air bnb’s.

The whole southside of br neighborhood was plantations for slaves. I have pictures of how many slaves it was in this area of the city. The stuff they dont want people to know about.
