New Orleans - Trip to Plantations

One of the most eye-opening day trips in New Orleans is the plantation tours. On this trip, we get a first-hand look at US history and the events that lead up to the Civil War with a tour of the Whitney and Oak Alley Plantations. The Whitney plantation shows the perspective of the people who worked as a the slaves, and Oak Alley shows the perspective of the plantation owners. It is a story of wealth, grandeur, and tragedy. It's a tour we won't forget and we hope you visit during your trip to New Orleans.

#Repost @thriftyjinxy with @repostapp ・・・ Visiting Whitney Plantation today was very sobering. It's the only plantation museum in Louisiana with a focus on slavery. Throughout the site are these statues - part of The Children of Whitney series by artist Woodrow Nash, representing these enslaved children as they were at the time of their emancipation. In the background is one of the original cypress slave cabins. #NOPCHoliday #history #art #travel #artist #artistsofinstagram #travel #travelgram #instatravel #photooftheday #travelling
