Overview

Come explore the Louisiana Oak Alley and Whitney Plantations and gain a unique perspective on history! This 8-hour tour brings you through one of the oldest plantation sites in Louisiana and provides insight into the lives of enslaved people and the troubles they faced.

This is an educational experience that will stay with you for years to come. Hear about first-hand accounts from those who lived and worked on the plantation, giving you an in-depth look into this important part of American history. As you tour the grounds, you will learn more about what life was like for slaves during that era – their work, their hardships, and their hopes for freedom-as well as how experts are working today to preserve these stories forever.

Please note: this Whitney Plantation tour is not a guided tour of the Whitney plantation. The Whitney Plantation provides an MP3 so all guests can walk through the plantation and learn about the history of the plantation on their own time and at their own pace.
