What To Expect

Whitney Plantation

Whitney Plantation 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 there.

After booking and paying for the Whitney Plantation Tour - our trip was cancelled. This was due to the fact that the bus pickup did not service our hotel - Place dArmes - even though when booking the tour the Trip Adviser website showed our hotel as a pickup site. Website needs to be updated.

What happened on that particular day, the tour didn’t meet the minimum requirements to run the tour. When that happens, we’ll do our best to schedule the guest with another company, but the particular company that had room on the bus don’t service that hotel so the guest had to go to another hotel to be picked up. Thanks for your review.

This was a very powerful tour. The guide gave great information along the way out to the Plantation area. Then the self guided tour of the Whitney Plantation was wonderfully done. Easy to follow and built a true picture of what life was like for the enslaved people at the Plantation. I highly recommend.

The Whitney Plantation allowed us to hear the real hard truths about slavery. I’m so glad we went as a lot of these historical sites are being ruined by hurricanes. Our driver Dionne also gave us a bunch of information about sites along our route. It’s worth the morning!!
