We also offer Plantation Tours

We Can also venture beyond the city and into the history of the plantation era here in Louisiana. The plantations are significant for their historical, architectural, and cultural importance. Many of these plantaion estates were established during the antebellum period before the Civil War and are located primarily along the Mississippi River here in Louisiana. Several of them explain the history, plantation life, and slavery. They also showcase a variety of architectural styles, including Creole, Greek Revival, and Italianate designs, often surrounded by gardens and massive, centuries-old live Oak trees.

During this drive out to the plantations you will learn about and see our wetlands and hear many of the topics that make Louisiana so unique. 

We will also cross the Mississippi river on our route to see one of the greatest rivers in the world. Learn how this river has affected our lives then and still does today.
