Experience Oak Alley Plantation Tour
You’ll experience one of the South’s most intriguing settings, Oak Alley Plantation, and marvel at the unbelievable quarter-mile long alley of 28 magnificent Oak trees, each over 250 years old, that gave the plantation its name.
One of the most iconic homes in America, this 1839 Greek Revival mansion has always been a symbol of grandeur. Oak Alley was a sugar empire during an era of unimaginable wealth, but there is much more to her story. Extensive research by the Friends of Oak Alley Foundation has revealed the lives and legacies of the many people who have called Oak Alley home.
The grounds provide a self-guided experience on 28 acres for you to explore: Slavery at Oak Alley, East and West Gardens, Blacksmith Shop and Sugarcane Theater.
On your journey to this historic setting, you’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Pontchartrain as you cross the Bonnet Carre Spillway (the flood outlet of the Mississippi River). Travel past Whitney, Evergreen, Felicity & St. Joseph Plantations, ghosts of the past that front the Mississippi River, where rich crops of sugar cane, cotton, and indigo from these fertile lands once traveled to far ports of trade.
You can purchase a snack, salad or sandwich in the Plantation Café to enjoy at the picnic tables or aboard the coach.
