West Feliciana Parish balances small-town ease with outsized natural beauty, anchored by the historic town of St. Francisville and set along the Mississippi River bluffs. Locals prize the quick, scenic drive to Baton Rouge for work and entertainment, then return home to quiet streets, independent shops, and live oaks that frame sunset views.
Weekends fill quickly here. Stroll formal allees at Rosedown Plantation State Historic Site and trace John James Audubon’s footsteps at the Audubon State Historic Site. Hikers chase cool ravines and rare hardwoods in the Tunica Hills Wildlife Management Area, while birders and paddlers spread out beneath ancient cypress at the Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge. For a dash of folklore, the porches and gardens of The Myrtles Plantation invite tours year-round.
Families are drawn by strong public schools; the West Feliciana Parish Schools district consistently posts high graduation rates and offers robust arts, STEM, and athletics. Housing ranges from in-town cottages to acreage with room for gardens, and many homes boast bluff or woodland backdrops.
