Quote: This is one of the only still-standing Creole plantations left in the New Orleans area. It can be found in Vacherie. What's interesting about this place is that its history is documented in a diary written by one of the many generations of women... Read the full Laura Plantation review

Laura: Creole Plantation
Quote: The word 'plantation' frequently conjures up the images of Tara, of Gone With the Wind fame. If you are looking for an imposing, large, white house with columns and black shutters, you should drive over to one of the other many plantations in the... Read the full Laura Plantation review
