From the grand mansions of the city to the sprawling estates upriver,
right outside New Orleans, this tour takes you back in time to the most famous, impressive and storied plantation of south Louisiana, the beautiful
Oak Alley Plantation.
The tour takes you to the beautiful Oak Alley Plantation. Famous for the enchanting corridor of centuries old live oaks that leads you up to its entrance, Oak Alley is a National Historic Landmark.
- The plantation was built in 1837 with renovations completed in 1841
- Breath-taking view of levy-lined Mississippi River from the balcony of the Greek-style mansion
- Plantation encompasses 25 acres of land; residential homes encompass 75 of surrounding acres; 600 acres leased for sugarcane cultivation; 450 acres are still virgin woodlands
If the beautiful grounds aren't enticing enough, perhaps a ghost story or two will draw you to Oak Alley. There have been numerous ghost sightings by employees, and
more than one person has heard the sound of a horse
drawn carriage making its way up the stone walk. Intrigued?
Stay overnight in one of Oak Alley Plantations
bed and breakfast cottages, and perhaps you will create
your own ghost story.
