History

[edit]

The town of Caspiana was once home to the Caspiana Plantation built by William Joseph Hutchinson (1839–1913).[3][4] Parts of the former plantation have been relocated and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Caspiana House in Shreveport, and Caspiana Plantation Store in Natchitoches.[5][6]
