Whitney Plantation, Louisiana, United States
Discover one of three historic plantations: Laura, Oak Alley, or Whitney Plantation. Immerse yourself in the rich history of the plantation owners and their enslaved inhabitants.
Visit the Laura Creole Plantation for a comprehensive exploration of its rich historical heritage. Begin your journey at The Maison Principale (Big House), followed by The French Jardin and The Plantation Kitchen Garden. Don't miss The Banana Grove or the original 1840s Slave Cabins, known as the legendary tales of Compair Lapin (Br'er Rabbit). Browse the historic gift shop featuring local arts, crafts, and souvenirs.
Next, venture to the Oak Alley Antebellum Plantation, situated along the avenue of 28 giant oaks leading to the grand mansion. Inside, experience the opulent interiors, reflecting the elegance of another era. Marvel at the gleaming hardwood floors and shimmering chandeliers, while enjoying the reflection of sunlight from these architectural marvels.
For a more intimate look into the past, consider exploring the Whitney Museum Plantation. This site honors the lives of the enslaved individuals and their legacy. Through a 90-minute guided walking tour, immerse yourself in the world of an 1830s sugar plantation through the eyes of the former slaves. Learn their stories through the genuine oral histories captured during the Great Depression by the Federal Writers Project. Witness the earliest and best-preserved raised Creole cottage in Louisiana, constructed by slaves, amidst authentic structures and authentic representations in a working sugar cane field.
Each destination offers a unique glimpse into the diverse tapestry of the Laura Creole Plantation's history and culture.
