This home has an entirely different look and feel than many of the plantations on Great River Road, with brighter colors and distinct French Creole flair. The captivating guided tour is not to be missed. Laura Plantation is also known as the site where, in the 1870s, folklorist Alcee Fortier began recording the West African tales of former slaves. These stories were later published and became the famous “Tales of Br’er Rabbit.”
