Whitney Plantation is on the National Register of Historic Places. The site includes the last surviving example of a true French Creole barn, what is believed to be the oldest detached kitchen in Louisiana, and the Big House, considered the earliest and best preserved raised Creole cottage in Louisiana - all built by slaves. With the original structures nestled in a working sugar cane field, visitors are sure to marvel at the authentic representation presented at Whitney. Through these restored buildings, museum exhibits, memorial artwork, and thousands of first-person slave narratives, Whitney Plantation gives a voice and respect to the slaves, who lived, worked, and died there.

Great Driver
Published on Jul, 2024
Driver shared lots of good information with the group in route. Also, picked us up on time. Highly recommend.
Thank you!
Truly powerful tour
Published on May, 2024
This was a very powerful tour. The guide gave great information along the way out to the Plantation area. Then the self guided tour of the Whitney Plantation was wonderfully done. Easy to follow and built a true picture of what life was like for the enslaved people at the Plantation. I highly recommend.
Not a sugarcoated tour
Published on Apr, 2024
The Whitney Plantation allowed us to hear the real hard truths about slavery. I’m so glad we went as a lot of these historical sites are being ruined by hurricanes. Our driver Dionne also gave us a bunch of information about sites along our route. It’s worth the morning!!
Great Experience!
Published on Mar, 2024
This was a fabulous experience and our tour guide was knowledgeable as well as fun! The drive to the plantation was an hour and our driver gave us detailed information about the city as well as the various plantations we passed once we were in the vicinity of our destination. I would definitely recommend this small group experience over a larger tour company!
