Oak Alley Plantation

A walkway lined with oaks leads to the Greek Revival mansion which stands like a giant wedding cake in the midst of a velvety green lawn. The plantation is an open-air museum where visitors can see recreations such as the blacksmith shop, the Civil War tent, the sugarcane exhibit, and the slavery exhibit. As well as being a historic landmark, this plantation has luxury cottages and first-class amenities for people wishing to stay overnight.
