A breathtaking experience at Oak Alley Plantation

It is undeniable that the Oak Alley Plantation is breathtakingly beautiful. However, the reality of what took place on such exquisite grounds has such a devastating effect on the hearts of those who visit and learn more about the past times of this historical landmark. The good news is that The Oak Alley Foundation continues to raise awareness and educates their visitors, like us - on the brutality and harsh conditions that slaves were subjected to. This national landmark is a visual representation of how such beauty was built upon and coincided with the ugliness of slavery.
