    1. Plantation Living Houses to Huts A journey back in time By: Beth Haydel and Walter Bueche

    2. We have arrived at our destination: The West Baton Rouge Museum!

    3. Lets board our time machine and head back to the year 1850!

    4. Where are we? Looks like a real plantation slave cabin. Lets look inside

    5. This must be the fireplace where the cooking was done. Bet this cabin got hot!

    6. Heres a vice. It was used to work with metal and wood.

    7. And theres a cane knife. Can you find it on the wall of tools? It was used by cane cutters to harvest sugar cane. Must have been a tough job without any tractors or combines!

    8. Whew! Im getting tired . Looks like all these plantation slaves did was work, work, work. Wait, heres a slat bed. The mattress is stuffed with moss, corn shucks, or down feathers.

    9. Wow! This is more like it. A plantation owners house from the 1850s. Want to look inside?

    10. Theres the fireplace. Its a lot nicer than the last one. It looks warm and cozy with that bedwarmer resting in the corner.

    11. Heres a nice sewing area. During plantation times people made their own clothes.

    12. What a pretty armoire. If we bring it back to the year 2005, we can sell it as a fine antique!

    13. Now heres a bed built for 19th century luxury. Its got mosquito netting and a chamber pot nearby.

    14. It seems theres quite a difference between the plantation slave quarters and the plantation owners home. Theres also quite a difference between these 19th century homes and our own 21st century houses. How do these homes compare to your home?

    15. Time to go!

    16. Welcome back! Hope youve enjoyed this journey back in time, brought to you by the West Baton Rouge Parish museum.
