Highlights
- Laura Plantation: Louisiana’s Créole Heritage Site - If you choose to visit Laura Plantation, the tour guide bring you into the world of Laura Lacoul Gore, who ran the property as a sugar plantation until the late 1800s. 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.”

Highly recommend taking this tour on your trip to NOLA - We choose to see Whitney and Oak Alley plantations. Both were incredible. We were staying in an airbnb in New Orleans so this made transportation to the plantations easy. You get on the bus at the Steamboat Natchez dock in the French Quarter. They drive you 1 hour to the plantations and provide a tour guide who tells you the history of the area on your trip to pass the time. Ride based apps will take you to the plantations but they wont pick you up out there so this is necessary if you don't have a car. I would highly recommend!
