Audubon State Historic Site

Audubon State Historic Site is a state park property in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, between the towns of St. Francisville and Jackson.

It is the location where noted ornithologist and artist John James Audubon spent the summer of 1821.

A portion of the 100-acre (0.40 km2) site contains the forest which served as a setting for many of the 32 Birds of America paintings that Audubon created or began while at Oakley.

[1] Built circa 1806, the Oakley Plantation house is an example of early Anglo-American architecture in Louisiana, located on its historic site.

Its interior rooms have been renovated in the style of the Federal period.
