Ferry Place, or Ferry Place Plantation, located on Sicily Island in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.^[1]

The plantation house is located on some of the highest ground of Sicily Island, overlooking Lake Lovelace (Lake Louise) Architect: Lovelace, John H., Sr. Architecture: Rococo Revival

The property included a contributing building and two contributing sites. One of the sites is the Ferry Place Plantation Archaeological Site, which has evidence of pre-historic occupation. Specifically, the Peck Mound site, located in the vicinity of the Ferry Place Plantation house, is a set of five earthen mounds which were first published about by James Lord in 1933. Also the Peck Village Site exists.^[3]

John Lovelace (1740-1816) established the Lovelace family at the site. The present plantation house was built in the mid-1800s of heavy cypress timbers, upon brick piers. It is a central hall plan structure with a seven-bay front gallery. It has two front parlors each with doors onto the gallery, flanked by windows.^[3]
