1. Badin-Roque Kitchen Marker
Like most plantation outer buildings the Badin-Roque kitchen was originally located behind the main house. The building is a cypress and bousillage structure set up on piers.
The kitchen was moved to the city of Natchitoches as early as 1980 and served as a tourist attraction on the Cane River bank. On July 5, 1996, the kitchen was returned to the original site, but placed in front of the house next to Highway 484.
