Standing beneath the sprawling live oaks draped in Spanish moss, you feel the full weight of Louisiana history settle around you. Destrehan Plantation draws you into a world of indigo fields, river trade, and Creole culture that shaped the lower Mississippi Valley. The oldest documented plantation house remaining in the lower Mississippi River Valley, Destrehan Plantation rewards every visitor with an atmosphere that is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply instructive.
Absolutely loved the plantation tour. Jim was an excellent tour guide! He was very informative and had a great personality. The grounds are beautiful. All the staff I encountered were very friendly.
