Take a unique eye-opening look into American history with visits to your choice of two of three prominent plantation homes along the Mississippi riverfront. Take a drive along the plantations near New Orleans and Great River Road, which winds along the Mississippi River, where the Whitney, Laura, and Oak Alley plantations sit. Whitney Plantation, open to the public for the first time in over 260 years, it is the only plantation museum in Louisiana that focuses on slavery. Through restored buildings, memorial artwork, museum exhibits, and hundreds of first-person slave narratives, Whitney serves as a site of memory and consciousness that pays homage to all slaves who lived and died there, as well as those who lived elsewhere in the United States. The tour is mainly designed based on information taken from four generations of family documents that reveal the real-life accounts of the owners who lived there.
