Review:
Located on the left bank of the Mississippi River, the Oak Alley Plantation was established in the 1830’s as a sugar plantation. The historic property is named for the very impressive canopied path which is formed by a double row of southern live oak trees which was planted in the early 18th century. A beautiful Greek Revival mansion was constructed on the property in late 1830’s, built entirely by slave labor. Today visitors can explore the massive 28-acre estate at their leisure on a self-guided tour (groups can arrange guided tours of the Mansion). Besides the impressive house there is also a lovely formal garden and the avenue of oaks to admire.
