Our Story

More than a century at Edgewood

1902Built

The Baughman House

Edgewood Plantation, also known as the Baughman House, was built in 1902 by Jefferson Davis Baughman. This Queen Anne Victorian-style home, with its distinctive tower, sits on more than eight acres among beautiful, towering trees. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, its period of significance spans 1900–1924. Located one mile west of Farmerville, Louisiana, on Highway 2, the home originally featured 13 rooms with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and beautiful crown molding.

A Family Home

Jefferson Davis “J. D.” Baughman and his wife, Nancy, had four daughters. Their oldest daughter, Miss Faye, was the last family member to reside in the home. Following her passing in the late 1970s, the house gradually fell into disrepair. Trees and vegetation eventually concealed much of the property, leaving only the tip of the rooftop visible to those passing by.

2010Restored

Brought Back to Life

When Pat and Kay Carroll purchased the property in 2010, its condition seemed almost hopeless. Drawing on Pat’s skills and experience, they began bringing the home back to life. Their remarkable restoration inspired passersby to stop for photographs, visit, and share childhood memories of the house.

Southern Hospitality

Pat and Kay dreamed of creating a bed and breakfast that offered warm Southern hospitality while returning the home to its former grandeur. In February 2012, they opened Edgewood Plantation Bed & Breakfast, adding modern comforts while preserving the home’s original character.
