Oak Alley Plantation

Oak Manor is located in the river region of Louisiana. It is a famous historic plantation in New Orleans. It was built between 1837 and 1839. It was originally a sugarcane plantation and operated by slave labor. It witnessed the rise and fall of slavery in the American South and became a historical landmark in the late 20th century. ​ The manor got its name from the 28 oak trees in the front yard, which form a magnificent tree-lined avenue leading directly to the main house and are also a popular check-in point for Instagram bloggers. These oak trees are over 300 years old, tall and sturdy, with lush branches and leaves, covering the sky. Walking among them, it seems that you can hear the echo of history. ​ The main house of the manor is very distinctive. It is a typical Greek Revival style building with white columns and spacious verandas, showing classical elegance. The house is decorated with exquisite antique furniture and gorgeous decorations, giving people a glimpse into the life of the upper class in the South before the American Civil War.​
