Tips from locals
Take a personal look into the lives of owners and slaves in Antebellum Louisiana. In 2014, Whitney Plantation opened its doors to the public for the first time in its 262-year history - the only plantation museum in Louisiana with a focus on slavery.
A bit out of New Orleans, but very worth the trip. A plantation devoted to telling the story through the viewpoint of slaves.
This is the only slavery museum in the United States and it's very well done. Check the hours before going since it's an hour out of the city.
This plantation of all the plantations, gives homage to the slaves experience.
