OAK ALLEY PLANTATION
This Greek Revival mansion was named for the two rows of beautiful live oaks, planted in the early 1700’s, that form a quarter-mile
alley from the Mississippi river to the house. Built 1837-39, Oak Alley has been restored and decorated with period furniture.
Our knowledgeable guide will be dressed in period costume. We will have opportunity to stroll the plantation grounds, visit the gift shop
& enjoy the Arts & Craft Festival before leaving for our Swamp Tour.
-INTERESTING- Before the Civil War more than half of the millionaires in the country lived along the Mississippi river corridor between
New Orleans and Natchez, their fortunes linked to the fertile land.
TORRES CAJUN SWAMP TOUR
Roland Torres owns and operates this highly regarded Swamp Tour. The boat is flat bottom, open sided with metals top.
It is large enough for a motor coach group.
This narrated swamp boat tour takes us through local swamps and bayous, offering views of wildlife as we cruise beneath the swamp’s
moss-draped cypress and oak trees, hopeful to see alligators, blue herons, turtles, raccoons and minks. It’s really a trek into wonderland.
Also enjoy Torres’ unusual backyard located on the bayou. All in all it’s a unique experience anyone is sure to enjoy.
