My husband & I chose this plantation because it presented a REAL depiction of what plantation life was about and the REAL history of what happened there opposed to showing a rainbows and sunshine view. It was very emotional to hear and see some of what enslaved people experienced in that time. We will come back to this plantation to help teach our young sons what life would have been like for them during those times and how grateful today they should be that their ancestors fought for a better future for them. It was self guided with a hand held audio device complete with headphones.

Too often, we hear the romantic version of plantation life. The Whitney Plantation pulls no punches, and it forces us into a more appropriately-uncomfortable understanding of history. There are no “two sides” of slavery. It was simply a crime committed over generations, and the Whitney Plantation makes that absolutely clear. Further, the Gray Line makes this easily accessible from New Orleans, and our driver, George, did a really great job of making sure we were comfortable and informed both ways.

The tour is very informative and it’s hard not to say that it is heavy. Slavery was not a time in our nations history to be light hearted about but I’m so glad that I went.
