Oak Alley Plantation is a historic site located on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Vacherie, Louisiana. Known for its iconic canopy of 28 evenly spaced oak trees that form a stunning pathway leading up to the antebellum mansion, the plantation offers a glimpse into Southern history and architecture. Built in 1837-1839, the Greek Revival-style mansion at Oak Alley has been meticulously preserved and is open to the public for guided tours. Visitors can explore the beautifully landscaped grounds, the "Big House," and various exhibits that delve into the lives of the enslaved people who worked on the plantation.
