Product Info

Begin with a convenient pickup from your hotel and set out on your guided tour – a trip back in time to the Antebellum South.

Drive along the Mississippi River and cross a suspended bridge high above the water for scenic views as you make your way to your first stop for the day, the Whitney Plantation.

The only plantation museum in Louisiana exclusively dedicated to understanding slavery, the Whitney Plantation features restored buildings and museum exhibits that expose the harsh realities and historical facts about this dark period in American history.

Follow your audio guide as you explore, at your own pace, Whitney's 14 exhibits, delving into the world of a pre-Civil War sugar plantation, and hear the stories of the slaves who lived and worked here.

Then, make your way back downriver as you head to the 200-year-old Laura Plantation. Discover the restored historic Louisiana Creole plantation surrounded by sugarcane fields with the help of your guide.

Get an insight into what life on the plantation was like as your tour guide leads you to visit the big house and grounds, see preserved furniture and go inside slave quarters, and listen to the stories of the Creole family who lived here and those of their slaves.

Leave your tour with a deeper appreciation and understanding of the beauty of this area, the pain caused by slavery, and the region's path toward freedom.
