Orange Grove Plantation House is a historic Greek Revival house on a former sugar plantation in Terrebonne Parish, about eight miles from Houma, Louisiana. Built in 1850 for sugar planter John C. Beatty, the estate covered about 2,470 acres. After Beatty died in 1857, the property was auctioned off and the enslaved people on the plantation were sold with it. The house sits on about 4.6 acres today. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 26, 1980.
