Review:
Waveland is a historic antebellum plantation home that has been restored and reopened to the public. The grounds of Waveland contain the extravagant main house and with three outbuildings, which include slave quarters, a smokehouse, and an icehouse. The home is now operated daily, and guided tours provide education and insight into the family and enslaved peoples who lived and worked on the grounds of Waveland.
The home and outbuildings have all been outfitted with period era decor and furnishings, and original artifacts help illustrate the lifestyle that would have been typical of the spectrum of occupants who resided here. Additionally, a variety of seasonal events are held on the property, which are outlined on the National Park Service website.
