Whitney Plantation
🕒 Self-Guided Tour
Whitney Plantation Museum is the only museum in Louisiana with an exclusive focus on the lives of enslaved people. During your visit, you will learn about the history of slavery on a southern Louisiana sugarcane plantation by visiting memorials built to honor enslaved people; as well as original slave cabins, a freedmen’s church, a detached kitchen, and a owner’s house* built in 1790.
*The big house is being assessed for much needed structural repair. For the continued preservation of this historic structure during this time, it is closed to visitors.
