See not one, but two historic sites: Oak Alley and Whitney Plantations

Oak Alley Plantation gets its name from the spectacular quarter mile tunnel of 28 oak trees that frame the plantation as you approach. Built in 1839, Oak Alley’s magnificent appearance makes it a must see destination in Louisiana. The Whitney Plantation stands out from other attractions by truly paying homage to the slaves responsible for its rise. Take a guided tour of the home itself, Slave Quarters, Wall of Honor memorial, Antioch Baptist Church, and other exhibits carefully built and preserved
