New Orleans
The plantation day trips I recommend, each weighed on how it presents the history of the people enslaved there. Whitney is the only major estate told from their perspective start to finish, while Oak Alley brings the 300-year-old oak canopy you have seen in photographs. Count on a half day minimum with the River Road drive.
