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.

Visiting the Whitney Plantation was a truly educational experience. Very moving. Our country needs more places like this to learn about history that has been erased.

Everything about this tour was well organized. The tour of Whitney Plantation was very educational. I especially liked that it was self-guided and the recordings were super interesting and offered information about slavery that I wasn’t aware of. Visiting a plantation where so many people suffered was humbling.
