This tour is designed to help visitors understand the history of slavery throughout time and in Louisiana during the 17th and 18th centuries. It focuses on the origins of slavery, the different types of slavery; human costs, economic implications, and abolitionist movements. It combines two narrations, one while in transit and the other on-site at Destrehan Plantation. We discuss how the institution of slavery created a worldwide economy that was part of the Industrial Revolution.
The tour begins in route with a discussion of Destrehan Planation. The journey takes about 30 minutes each way. Inside the main house we will meet a local docent who will discuss the history of the plantation and the importance of slavery in both human and economic terms. After a walk on the grounds and visiting the outbuildings, we will have an active discussion with a TBL guide who will focus on the institution of slavery from its beginning, during the 1800s and even today. There are many photo opportunities, so we encourage you to take as many photos as possible as we move around the grounds. Please contact us BEFORE booking to confirm availability and verify that other events are not being help on-site the day of your tour. We also give you time to shop for local treats, jewelry, and books. Once we leave the plantation, we discuss any questions you may have as we travel back to the city.
