The War Between the States brought hard times to Chretien Point, for the mansion and the surrounding countryside figured in a battle of the Red River Campaign. The upper section of a column was torn off by a Union cannonball and there is still a bullet hole in one of the front doors. Over the years Chretien Point Plantation fell into a state of disrepair. Hay was stored in its rooms, and chickens, pigs, and cows freely roamed in and out.
Tours are also available.
