Oak alley plantation tour

Oak Alley is one of the most famous plantations found along the Mississippi River. The historic plantation dates back to 1839 when it was built by one of the South’s richest landowners to add to his sugar empire.

The plantation takes its name from the extravagant line of trees found along the grand entranceway to the main house. These elegant trees grow over the top of the path, providing shade in the fierce heat for the long walk into the estate.

The house has featured in several movies and in many ways is the quintessential southern plantation, an example of riches and opulence that few other plantations could outdo. On this half-day tour, learn about southern culture during the slave era, from knowledgeable guides who won’t sugarcoat the truth.

whitney plantation tour

For anyone with an interest in learning more about slavery in Louisiana during the 19th century, a visit to the Whitney Plantation is a must. Although many of the other plantations in the area touch upon the issue of slavery and the history that allowed such fabulous wealth into the south, few go into as much detail as the Whitney Plantation.

The Whitney Plantation only opened in 2014, but already, due to its unique confrontation of the darker side of the region’s history, it has become a popular tourist attraction. Privately funded by a local who wanted others to learn more about the state’s darker history, this is an impressive example of the slavery era – but it may leave you shocked.

PT305 Tour

Experience history like never before aboard PT-305! Built in New Orleans by Higgins Industries, the patrol-torpedo (PT) boat PT-305 was a critical asset for the US Navy during World War II, serving in European waters from 1944 to the end ofthe war. PT boats were a perfect naval expression of the American Spirit at war. Fast and maneuverable, patrol-torpedo boats were a unique and essential tool for US naval forces during World War II. PT-305, in bad repair and far from seaworthy, resided at Back Bay Boat Yard in Galveston, Texas, when she was acquired by The National WWII Museum. The decade that followed brought hundreds of volunteers, millions of dollars in monetary and in-kind donations, and dramatic changes to PT-305. Making her return to her home waters of Lake Pontchartrain, you can now see and feel the PT boat experience and learn about the service of the men who called them home with PT-305—the world's only fully restored combat-veteran PT boat in operation today!
