The Tacony Plantation is a plantation with a historic mansion in Vidalia, Louisiana, U.S.. It was built in 1850, a decade prior to the American Civil War of 1861-1865, for Alfred Vidal Davis, Sr. (1826-1899).[2] One of his former slaves, John R. Lynch, became a politician after the war.[3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 19, 1979.[2]
