Description
This is a web site about an archaeological and historical site in Brazoria, Texas – the Levi Jordan Plantation.
The plantation was built in 1848 by Levi Jordan, his family, and the people who worked for them as slaves and, later, as tenant farmers and sharecroppers. This web site attempts to discuss the lives of ALL of these people, and covers a period from 1848 until about 1888-1890.
This carved shell "cameo" was found in the slave and tenant quarters of this plantation, and was made by one of the people who lived there. See "Shell Carver's Cabin" for more details.
Our apologies for any missing links or images that may appear in these pages. We are updating this web site and it will take some time to complete this process. In addition, please note that the Levi Jordan Plantation is now owned by the State of Texas, and managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). However, the Levi Jordan Plantation Historical Society (which manages these pages) is still active. Future site updates will include links to TPWD pages, tour information, etc. In the meantime, for information please contact the addresses listed at the bottom of this page.
