Prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking beauty of the tree-lined canopied path into Oak Alley Plantation. Known as the "Grand Dame of the Great River Road," the 25-acre sugar cane plantation was built on the Mississippi River and might look familiar to you - especially if you're a pop culture junkie: Beyonce's music video was shot here in 2006; the plantation has also appeared in shows like Ghost Hunters and The Young and the Restless.
As you enter the restored 1830s mansion for your guided tour, you'll be taken back in time to the 19th century when Southern belles in elegant gowns danced the night away at romantic balls. During your visit, make sure to swing by the Oak Alley gift shop to receive a complimentary Oak Alley Plantation Japanese Magnolia Print with any purchase.
After a trip to Oak Alley Plantation, it's time to visit Laura Plantation, a 37-acre sugarcane plantation. It's one of only 15 Louisiana plantations with a significant number of original structures remaining; these structures include six slave quarters and 69 cabins. The plantation continued functioning into the 20th century and was home to the family of R&B legend Fats Domino. Before departing this historic site, you will receive six complimentary postcards depicting the plantation.
