Review:
Laura Plantation is another of Louisiana’s beautifully restored heritage sites. The plantation lies on the west bank of the Mississippi, close to Vacherie, where it is famously home to a very early Creole-style mansion house which is raised above ground level. There are also a handful of surviving outbuildings and two slave quarters. Prior to the Civil War, the property had at least 69 slave cabins, a communal kitchen and an infirmary to house the many slaves who toiled on the enormous sugarcane plantations. Today you can spend a few fascinating hours learning all about Louisiana’s Creole heritage and culture on a fully guided historic tour of the plantation.
