We all enjoyed the tour immensely! Truly wonderful to learn so much about Destrehan Plantation, the family and what people had to go through during that time. Ann was extremely knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about everything she shared with us. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. We’ll worth the time.
