The one-hour tour at Destrehan Plantation was a perfect blend of education and beauty. Learning about the history of the enslaved individuals who lived and worked on the property was deeply moving. The guide shared insights into their roles, the value they brought to the families, and the tragic reality of what they were sold for. It was a respectful and informative look into a painful but important part of history.
The construction of the home itself was fascinating, showcasing the craftsmanship and architectural style of the time. The wrap-around porch, towering trees, and lush green grass added to the serene beauty of the property. The landscape was well-maintained, and the shade from the trees made the walk comfortable and peaceful.
No changes needed—this tour was thoughtfully curated and beautifully presented.
