Felicity Plantation is a historic sugarcane plantation on the banks of the Mississippi River in the U.S. state of Louisiana. It is located along Louisiana Highway 18 in Vacherie, St. James Parish. Felicity is a sister plantation to St. Joseph Plantation,^[1] and was built around 1846 (or 1850)^[2] by Valcour Aime as a wedding gift to his daughter, Felicite Emma, and her spouse, Septime Fortier,^[3] who was also her cousin.^[4] Acquired by a bank in 1873,^[4] the plantation was purchased by Saturnine Waguespack in 1890, who merged it with the St. Joseph Plantation to form the St. Joseph Plantation and Manufacturing Company.^[3] The house still remains in the Waguespack family.^[3]
