Besides vintage agricultural machinery, the sizeable…

Oak Valley Plantation is definitely worth the trip. - It was wonderful. The plantation was breathtaking. I highly recommend going to Oak Valley. The tour was very informative and provided historical context. The house and slaves quarters were well preserved. The bus driver was friendly and competent.

Visit to Oak Alley Plantation - pretty good! - It was a great visit and our driver was so funny. Even though it rained throughout he made it comfortable by ensuring AC was on in the bus. The plantation is pretty impressive and this one also has slave quarters so definitely a plus compared to the other plantation. A guide provides historical context inside the mansion. The souvenir shops and restaurants are nice. The grounds are awesome in Spring and Summer especially the oak trees! They pick you up and drop you back at your hotel so that was nice.

Amazing step back in time! - Really good trip, picked up from the hotel. The plantation was lovely (although I am a fan of amazing trees, and there were some amazing 250yr old Oaks on the drive). Great tour by the Plantation Foundation lady (Jackie, I think). The only downside was that we were not dropped back at the hotel and had to walk three blocks.
