(3-97 VHS) Dalkeith Plantation. Walnut Bayou four miles northwest of Duckport Canal site. Site Marker: This home was used to confine Confederate prisoners during U.S. Grant's occupation of Madison Parish. This is one of the two ante-bellum houses still standing in Madison Parish. The home is located several hundred yards from this marker on the opposite side of the bayou |
(3-97) Crescent Plantation. Rt. 602 approximately three miles south of US-80. Site Marker: During the Civil War, Crescent was the home of Dr. D. M. and Elizabeth DeMoss Dancy. The house was built in 1832. When Gen. U.S. Grant's Federal forces occupied Madison Parish, an officer and several soldiers came to Crescent with orders to burn the house, but did not because a sick lady, a member of the Dancy family, was in the home. The mansion is still standing, and in excellent state of preservation |
