Whitney Plantation, Wallace

Amazing Experience. The only plantation tour focused on the slaves. This tour is a great look into the life of slaves here in Louisiana. The tour is self guided with an audio program you listen along you as you walk through the property. I highly recommend this tour if you want to really learn what it was like to be a slave and learn about their histories.

An Enlightening tour of one of the best plantations offered. There was so much history shared that my party and I were in awe. If you go to New Orleans you owe it too yourself and your loved ones to take this tour. If you are of African descent, you definitely need to see this historical place on a tour that is given from the slaves perspective. I highly recommend it and commend those who make this possible and are preserving as well as protecting this priceless property.

A heavy and remarkably humbling experience. This self-guided tour (using headphones with prerecorded commentary) walked us through the entirety of the plantation, structure by structure, and allowed us to go at our own pace - which I found to be very important as parts did become quite emotional. We got to empathize and appreciate some of the history, stories, and encounters of enslaved people. Also got to admire their skills and achievements. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Louisiana.

I must admit that this has probably been the most deep-rooted and emotional historical landmark that I've visited in America. I went in Aug, which is very hot in Louisiana and the drive there alone was enough to get a sense of how far out in the middle of know where these plantations were. I can imagine how lost the slaves felt. From slave quarters to the stuffy, inferno like kitchen, it is sickening to have to retrace the steps of my ancestors. Overall, this a great place to learn and experience some history

Learn truth about slavery in the US, and the depth of research that went into the making of this museum. A couple of free rooms and a visiting exhibit greet you in the visitor's center, but I heartily recommend paying for a tour of the grounds. I took the self-guided audio tour, which allows the viewer to go at their own pace and choose which plaques to dwell with. While walking through, I encountered the tour guide groups a couple of times. The leaders seemed knowledgeable and gave details not covered in the audio tour.
