In 1860, there were roughly four million recorded slaves in America. The Whitney Plantation pays homage to them, and delves deeper into the lives of the slaves who worked the land there from its establishment in 1752 until slavery's abolition.

This plantation tour will take you to slave cabins, and past various memorials and art pieces commemorating Louisiana's slaves. You'll also be able to see the big house from the poignant vantage point of the slave jail on the grounds.

I enjoyed the educational session at the property. I wish I could have visited the church but hurricane Ida took the roof. If you can visit you will not be unhappy with the experience. I'm extremely satisfied that the family chose to focus on the enslaved humans.

The tour was very interesting and our guide, Ali was full of great information. It did rain during our tour but umbrellas are provided on the property. I had originally reserved the 12:00 tour through tiqets but when grey line informed me that tour was full, they happily rebooked me on the 1:00 tour. The transportation was also very enjoyable; the tour guide with us on the bus was cheery and full of interesting regional tips.
