Historic downtown Plaquemine, the seat of Iberville Parish government, has a
number of beautiful and historically significant homes and buildings to see on a
self-guided walking tour. While offering a variety of architectural styles and details, the common thread among many of the
distinguished homes is the use of turn-of -the-century cypress, which was readily available then from Iberville's thriving lumber
industry. Point Pleasant, located on the River Road, is home to the Madonna Chapel, listed in Ripley's Believe It or Not as the
smallest church in the world. North and East Iberville each offer unique and historic homes, churches, and general stores. And
Iberville is bordered on the west by the Atchafalaya Basin, which offers fishing year-round.
