What To Expect

Laura: Louisiana's Creole Heritage Site

(CLOSE ON TUESDAYS) is on the National Register of Historic Places, the site includes the last surviving example of a true French Creole Barn, what is believed to be the oldest detached kitchen in Louisiana, and the Big House, considered the earliest and best preserved raised Creole cottage in Louisiana, all built by slaves. With the original structures nestled in a working sugar cane field, visitors are sure to marvel at the authentic representation presented at Whitney. Through these restored buildings, museum exhibits, memorial artwork and thousands of first-person slave narratives, Whitney Plantation gives a voice and respect to the slaves, who lived, worked, and died here.

The Laura plantation part with Logan was top quality. He is a confident and engaging speaker full of interesting info. Excellent morning. Didn’t rate the swamp tour as highly. Spent a lot of time just sitting, waiting for previous boat to move on. Saw more alligators back at the base than we did on the tour. The tour bus driver was also engaging, helpful and informative.

The Laura Plantation tour was excellent, the airboat swamp tour was a great time, and our driver Dionne with N’awlins Luxury Tours was so fun and informative. She pointed out historical landmarks along the way. I will recommend this company to my family and friends.P
