Beschrijving

WEST-AFRIKAANS Gevangen vanwege hun landbouw- en bouwvaardigheden, creëerde hun werk de kolonie Louisiana en beïnvloedde alle segmenten van de nieuw gevormde Creoolse cultuur, die vandaag de dag het best te zien is in taal, keuken, muziek, familiegerichte tradities, architectuur en levensstijl. Deze suikerrietplantage begon in 1805 met 7 tot slaaf gemaakte mensen (zes West-Afrikanen en één Indiaan). Naarmate de plantage groeide, groeide ook het aantal tot slaaf gemaakte arbeiders. Vier originele slavenhutten uit de jaren 1840 staan nog steeds op de plantage. Bij het uitbreken van de burgeroorlog werden op deze boerderij 186 arbeiders tot slaaf gemaakt. Na de emancipatie van slaven in Louisiana (1866) bleef de grote meerderheid van deze voormalige slaven in de Laura Plantation-wijken wonen. Afstammelingen van deze mannen en vrouwen raakten in 1895 ontheemd toen cipressenhoutbedrijven hun eigen arbeiders in de slavenverblijven van Laura lieten wonen. Tot 1977 werden de hutten bewoond. Tot op de dag van vandaag wonen er afstammelingen van slaven in de buurt van de Laura Plantage.

Highly recommend

This was a meaningful and enlightening tour. It went deeper than talking about slavery and focused on the interactions of the people who lived there: plantation owners and the people of color. Also interesting because it was a plantation run by women. Very educational.

Fun and most importantly educational!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and open to answer questions. The tour was very organized and flowed nicely. Our transportation driver with Crescent City Tours was amazing too! He kept us engaged on the drive to plantation and pointed out several landmarks along the way!

Great day out

A great outing. The small coach was clean and comfortable. Our driver Larry aka bamba was excellent, informative, funny and very courteous. The guided tour around the plantation was with s small group, again informative and knowledgeable, answering all questions posed to him. The experience wasn't rushed in any way. Would recommend

Enlightening experience

This was our first plantation of the 2-plantation tour we took. I liked this one better because it wasn't just, "Look at the beautiful home", it was, "This family is like a soap opera"! Yes, it was beautiful & I prefer the Creole style of this plantation to the American style of the Oak Plantation, but, more importantly, remember that this was built by slaves. Lindie was an excellent tour guide who ended the tour with a personal touch about her own family in relation to how the slaves were freed & ended up being stuck with no where else to go because they, sadly, didn't know any better. Her grandmother is Creole & she basically highlighted how slavery still affects non-whites to this very day.

Laura plantation tour

Our tour guide gave a very nuanced, historically accurate description of life on the plantation, from the plantation owners to the enslaved people. Learned more here than I ever did in school

Well worth the trip, except lack of helpful information - and arrived late for our guide at Laura Plantation

Very informative tour - All guides were great. Except arrived late for our tour at Laura Plantation to meet our guide there. And no information that you could get food and drink at Oak Alley Plantation at the stop for 45 minutes. That was in our opinion essential information, as no food at Laura Plantation. Otherwise thanks to all involved, in giving us this trip.

Decent tour transportation

We did the Laura Plantation tour with transportation from Crescent City tours. The Laura Plantation tour itself was just ok, but Crescent City Tours doesn't actually do that tour for you, they just take you do the plantation and the plantation has their own tour guides. The transportation from Crescent City tours was ok. They picked us up at our hotel via a medium sized bus. After picking a few other people up at different hotels, it was about an hour drive to the plantation. The driver was nice and 'somewhat' funny; it was nice that he gave us informative information on the city and places we were passing along the way, so the ride wasn't boring. We were dropped off at our plantation and then picked up about 2 hours later. After all the people were back on board, we stopped at the Oak Alley planation for a 20 min break to get food or bathroom etc. Then we stopped other people off at a swamp tour and then back to the hotel. Overall, we were picked up around 8:20am and got dropped back off around 2:30pm.

Thanks for coming guys. We enjoyed having you until next time. Stay safe and keep smiling. I wish five stars could have been the end result but unfortunately, we just have to keep putting forth the effort in swinging for the fences. Thank you so much for coming.😉😉
