Whitney Plantation in Louisiana Dedicated to History of Slavery

[Gencor]

I have grown up around the Whitney Plantation all of my life. I live in
Baton Rouge and we used to take field trips to the plantation when I was in high school and we were studying the Civil War and slavery and I can't tell you all enough about the rich history here in south Louisiana that we have preserved from the civil war and beyond. Our plantations here, some still exist, are as stately today as they ever were. Even in the north east of our state, where cotton is still grown and ginned, when you cross the river from Natchez, Miss., you cannot escape the rich history that is so perfectly preserved. For any of you who would like to take the tour, I promise you all that it would be a visit that you will never forget.
