Laura Plantation Tour with Transportation

Overview

WEST-AFRICAN Captured for their agricultural and construction skills, their work created the Louisiana colony and influenced all segments of the newly-forming Creole culture, best seen today in language, cuisine, music, family-centered traditions, architecture and life-style. This sugarcane plantation started in 1805 with 7 enslaved people (six west-Africans and one Amerindian). As the plantation grew, so did the number of enslaved workers. Four original slave cabins built in the 1840s remain standing today on the plantation. By the onset of the Civil War, 186 workers were enslaved on this farm. Following the emancipation of slaves in Louisiana (1866), the great majority of these former slaves continued to live in the Laura Plantation quarters.
Descendants of these men & women were displaced in 1895 when cypress lumber companies had their own workers inhabit the Laura slave quarters. The cabins were lived in until 1977. Descendants of slaves live near the Laura Plantation to this day.

We did the Laura Plantation tour with transportation from Crescent City tours. The Laura Plantation tour itself was just ok, but Crescent City Tours doesn't actually do that tour for you, they just take you do the plantation and the plantation has their own tour guides. The transportation from Crescent City tours was ok. They picked us up at our hotel via a medium sized bus. After picking a few other people up at different hotels, it was about an hour drive to the plantation. The driver was nice and 'somewhat' funny; it was nice that he gave us informative information on the city and places we were passing along the way, so the ride wasn't boring. We were dropped off at our plantation and then picked up about 2 hours later. After all the people were back on board, we stopped at the Oak Alley planation for a 20 min break to get food or bathroom etc. Then we stopped other people off at a swamp tour and then back to the hotel. Overall, we were picked up around 8:20am and got dropped back off around 2:30pm.
