This stop along the Great River Road highlights the landscapes and stories of the lower Mississippi. Visit Oak Alley, a 19th-century Greek Revival mansion built during the region’s sugar boom and known for its avenue of live oaks. Explore the grounds and wander beneath the oaks that have seen so much history. Step inside the interiors and learn how the property evolved from a working farm into a preserved historic site.
You can also join a Cajun cooking experience, preparing jambalaya as you hear traditional folktales and learn how these recipes have been passed down through generations.
Another option is a narrated boat ride through nearby wetlands, where cypress and tupelo trees draped in Spanish moss frame the waterways. From a covered boat, look for wildlife such as alligators, nutria, turtles, and wading birds in this part of the Mississippi River Delta ecosystem.
