Built for Lycurgus and Lydia Johnson in 1859, the Greek Revival home is one of Arkansas's premiere historic structures and is now the only remaining antebellum plantation home in Arkansas on the Mississippi River. The Johnson family retained ownership of the house until 1927, when the Chicot County plantation was purchased by Sam Epstein. The house was added to the National Register in 1974 and was gifted to Arkansas State University in 2001 by the Sam Epstein Angel Family. Following a massive restoration effort, the home opened to the public on September 28, 2007.

Sorry for wildly long delay in responding to your message (almost two years). I believe my family is distantly related to the Worthingtons of Muhlenberg county, Kentucky and Mississippi. But I'm also collecting any information of printed material on any Worthington family too. Lakeport Plantation looks like a beautiful and fascinating place. Thank you so much for the contact and friend request and I sincerely apologize for not responding sooner.
Best Wishes
