Businesses in the Park will open at 11am on Saturday, June 15th due to the Latta Triathalon!
Historic Latta Plantation
Historic Latta Plantation is a circa 1800 cotton plantation and living history farm, located within Latta Plantation Nature Preserve. Tours of the Latta home are guided, and tours of the grounds are self-guided.

Latta County Funding Update: If the proposed Mecklenburg County budget passes, there will be no cuts in funding to Parks and Recreation. This would prevent the elimination of Latta's county funding. Thank you all for your outpouring of support!
