The Tacony Plantation is a former cotton 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][3] One of his former slaves, John R. Lynch, became a politician after the war.[4]

The plantation house, along with a 9 acres (3.6 ha) area, has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 19, 1979.[1]
