Thoughtful, intelligent glimpse of local history

Amazing retelling of the story of life in a bygone era. Good education on Creole family practices, great knowledge of the family lineage and history. Site is well preserved and kept. Well worth the time.

The experience was fantastic!

The tour guide was excellent. Learning about the history of the plantation was very interesting. It is very important that Americans know the history of slavery in the United States. It usually isn't taught in public schools. It's a sad era of American history.

Wonderful educational experience

We so enjoyed the history of the plantation owners and the slaves that made this place unique. Laura Bickman was a great guide. We loved her stories and her humor.

Very indepth overview of the history of the plantation.

Beautiful plantation tour

This tour was very well done. The history of the house and plantation was so interesting. This was our 5yo’s first exposure to the topic of slavery and it was very hard to explain. The tour guide did a good job of telling us things, but just enough over his head where he wasn’t scared. The gift shop has some great books.
