Evan Hall is a former sugar plantation in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, U.S. It was established for the production of sugarcane by Evan Jones, a settler, by 1807.[2] It was later acquired by Henry McCall, a planter from New Orleans, Louisiana, who built a mansion and slave cabins in 1840; McCall owned another plantation in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.[3] The remaining slave cabins have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 20, 1983.[4]
