Madewood Plantation is located in Napoleonville, Louisiana. This 1840s plantation has a surprise located behind the manor house, featuring a graveyard which contains the corpse of Colonel Thomas Pugh, who was the first owner of the estate, and his family. Colonel Hugh hired architect Henry Howard to build the manor house besides his enormous sugar plantation between 1840 and 1848. Following the Civil War, as did almost every plantation in the area, the plantation fell apart due to the hard economic times. The Harold Marshall family eventually purchased the plantation in 1964.
