Guided Whitney & Laura Combo
Video Preview
About this tour
This eight-hour guided combo pairs two of Louisiana's most thought-provoking plantations into a single, deeply rewarding day. A knowledgeable escort accompanies you at both sites, adding context and answering questions throughout.
Your morning begins at Whitney Plantation in Wallace, the nation's first museum dedicated to the lives of the enslaved. Walk the restored cabins, memorials, and Wall of Names as your guide shares firsthand accounts preserved from the Federal Writers' Project.
After a comfortable midday ride aboard our executive bus, you'll arrive at Laura Plantation in Vacherie. Here the story shifts to four generations of a Creole family, narrated through the memoirs of Laura Locoul Gore — a vivid contrast of color, culture, and personal history against the morning's sobering reflection.
Departure is at 8:00 AM with door-to-door hotel pickup included. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a light layer for the bus.
