Step back in time into Creole Louisiana with a 75-minute guided tour of the Laura Plantation in the heart of Plantation Country. Hear the stories of four generations of the Creole family that lived here, both free and enslaved. The tour will cover the main house, gardens, and slave quarters. The restored home dates to 1805 and showcases a time when it functioned as a family home and sugar plantation office.
Laura tour includes The Maison Principale (Big House), The French Jardin, The Plantation Kitchen Garden, The Banana Grove, and the original 1840s Slave Cabins where The Legendary Tales of Compair Lapin (known in English as Br’er Rabbit) were first recorded. Take time to browse through local arts, crafts and souvenirs in the historic Laura Plantation gift shop. Also don’t forget to visit the new museum exhibit where it displays the daily lives, free & enslaved, on the sugar plantation. That’s why Laura Creole Plantation was awarded the title of top travel attraction by The Louisiana of Tourism.
