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.

My favorite tour of the trip. Definitely helped that the weather was perfect. The self-guided audio tour is really well done, and allows you to go at your own pace. A little bit more time at the plantation would have been nice, but it was enough to see pretty much everything. Highly recommend.
