Oak Alley Plantation
Magnificent 300 year old live oaks form an 800 foot long canopy over the walkway from the Mississippi River to the historic plantation named for them. They were planted 100 years before the present plantation house was built in 1837. The plantation is located in Vacherie, Louisiana, and is a National Historic Landmark. It was one of the stops on our Mississippi River cruise from Memphis to New Orleans on an old sternwheeler. It survived Katrina with a lot of broken limbs and downed branches, but no major damage.
