Overview

This tour is designed to help visitors understand the history of slavery throughout time and in Louisiana during the 17th and 18th centuries as well its origins thousands of years ago. It focuses on the different types of slavery; human costs, economic implications and abolitionist movements.

It combines two guide narrations, one while in transit and the other on site at the plantation. We discuss how the institution of slavery created a world-wide economy that was part of the Industrial Revolution.

The tour is private but not exclusive, meaning that inside the house you may join others, but in transit and on the grounds, your group will have a private and focused tour dealing with slavery.
