You sick bastard." - Jacob Edwards to Jon Wallace.Eaglehurst Plantation is a fictional plantation house located within Bayou Fantom, south of New Bordeaux, Louisiana, U.S.A..

== History ==
=== 1936 ===
In the winter of 1936, Jon Wallace followed up on a lead of some more of the Lasting Lighters hiding out in an old house in Bayou Fantom, Louisiana, just south of New Bordeaux. He investigated a small shack, only to find nothing, except when he tried to leave, he was suddenly knocked out. He then woke up tied to a chair inside of the Eaglehurst house, where he is slightly tortured by the Lasting Lighters. After fraying his ropes, he got free, tackled one of the Lighters, grabbed his gun, and began shooting at the Lasting Lighters, gunning down whoever was in the house. More arrived to kill Jon, but he did not back down, killing as much as he could until more arrived, with Jacob Edwards, the leader, being present. With no other choice due to the amount of gunmen awaiting outside of the house, Jon surrendered and was subsequently captured and taken to Missouri.
=== 1968 ===
In summer of 1968, the old Eaglehurst Plantation was used for the first time in twenty-two years as a place to call discreet mafia sitdowns within the Clay Crime Family, led by Lincoln Clay, with his three underbosses, Vito Scaletta of the Italian Mob, Thomas Burke of the Irish Mob, and Cassandra of the Haitian Mob. Here, he assigned territories to his underbosses in New Bordeaux and gave them updates on their progress against the Marcano Crime Family. The house was used every time Lincoln murdered or sent away an underboss and new territory was taken. The house was abandoned presumably for good after Lincoln left New Bordeaux around fall after killing Sal Marcano and destroying whatever influence they had left in the city.
=== Alternate Timelines ===
In a couple of alternate timelines, the events at Eaglehurst Plantation change a bit.
* In one timeline, Lincoln returned to the house after calling his underbosses there, where he gave them the news that Sal was dead. He then poured drinks for everyone and said that as long as they stood together, nobody will fuck with them.
* In another timeline, Lincoln called his underbosses to the house, but instead of celebrating their victory, he decided to rule the city by himself and executed the three underbosses in the house at the sitdown. Shortly after, he exited the house and entered his car, but when it stalled, it suddenly caught fire and exploded, instantly killing Lincoln and burning his corpse. The perpetrator was done by Father James Ballard, who condemned Lincoln for him becoming just like Sal Marcano and proving it to be so, as he confessed in 2016.

== Trivia ==
* The house was considered haunted considering that some people had died in here due to unknown circumstances. This would be considered a good hideout for the shady types of people. Ironically, several Lasting Lighters are shot and killed in this house, and in an alternative timeline, Lincoln Clay killed his underbosses here shortly before he himself was killed with a car bomb outside of the house in the driveway.
* The scenes for the plantation were shot using the Old Shady Belle plantation house in Red Dead Redemption II, in Bayou Nwa, Lemoyne.
* The shootout that took place here is inspired by the Candyland shootout in the Quentin Tarantino film, Django Unchained.
** Both shootouts were instigated by African American outlaws and bounty hunters, with Jon Wallace being the instigator of this shootout, and Django Freeman in Candyland.
** Both shootings took place in the Gulf Region of the United States, with the Eaglehurst shooting being in Louisiana, and the Candyland shooting being in Mississippi, coincidentally not being too far from each other.
** Both shootings ended with the instigator being captured alive, with Jon surrendering due to the fact that there was an overwhelming amount of Lighter gunmen awaiting him outside of the house, and Django being forced to surrender due to his wife, Broomhilda, being held hostage by Stephen Warren as well as the overwhelming amount of Calvin Candie's men closing in on him.
