Avondale Plantation Home is a historic plantation house located along Andrews Road, about 0.87 miles (1.40 km) southeast of Louisiana Highway 10, and about 1.77 miles (2.85 km) east of Clinton, Louisiana. It was built in 1825 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1982.[1]

It is a one-and-a-half-story Greek Revival-style house which was, in 1982, located on an open hilltop near the town of Clinton. In 1980 it was moved 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to its actual location, from the Avon Plantation site which had long earlier become a Boy Scout summer camp named Camp Avondale.[2][3]
