Welcome to Annadele’s, a historic little hideaway tucked away in Covington.
Annadele’s Plantation/Facebook The property has an interesting history, beginning back in 1819 when they were looking for a place to put the St. Tammany Courthouse and jail for the town of Claiborne. Not familiar with the town of Claiborne? Well, sadly the town didn’t flourish as anticipated and eventually, the courthouse was abandoned. A new town, Wharton (now Covington) became the parish seat, and the land was divided up and sold off.
Colonel Thomas Sully purchased 24 acres and went to work building what would become Annadele’s.
