| The old Seven Oaks mansion was only two miles from our childhood home. It stood, amid woods and fields, only a few hundred yards from the levee and the river beyond, where we would swim, after crossing the plantation grounds. The oil storage tanks and the railroad tracks were not there back in those days. The ruins of the old mansion have since been destroyed. Nothing remains but a historical marker sign (below.) |
