Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Afton Villa Gardens is a historic formal garden on the grounds of a former slave plantation[1] in St. Francisville, Louisiana, U.S..

History

The land belonged to William Barrow when it was purchased by his brother, Bartholomew Barrow, in 1820.[2] The latter sold it to his son, David Barrow, in 1839.[2] When Senator Alexander Barrow died in 1846, he was buried on the grounds.[2] In 1849, David Barrow and his second wife, Susan A. Woolfolk, established a plantation and had a great house built.[2] It was designed in the Gothic Revival architectural style.[2] Meanwhile, they also designed formal gardens.[2]

The mansion burned down in 1963, but the gardens are still maintained.[2][3] They have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 24, 1983.[4]
