Admission includedStanding at the end of a quarter-mile tunnel of ancient live oaks, Oak Alley Plantation stops you in your tracks. The 28 evenly spaced trees, draped in Spanish moss, frame the rose-pink Greek Revival mansion in a way that feels almost unreal. Oak Alley Plantation has welcomed visitors to this stretch of the Mississippi River Road for generations, offering a rare and sobering window into Louisiana's plantation era.
