Oak Alley, LA Oak Alley Plantation The famous ancient oaks bordering your path to the mansion are your first sight upon stepping ashore.

Southern belles, enjoying the shade of the leafy canopy, greet us on arrival and are our guides for the day. In small groups, explore the antebellum plantation's many stately rooms and discover why it has earned the name "Grande Dame of the Great River Road." After the tour, join us for a special gathering with mint juleps on the west lawn, before visiting their popular gift shop which is known for their world-famous pralines.
Natchez, MS Historic Longwood Exploration Longwood is just one of the elegant houses that graces the historic district of Natchez. This octagonal house epitomizes the rise and fall of the South. As the Civil War began, the workmen stopped construction and the house was never completed. View the finished first floor with original family furnishings and the upper five stories that are still a work in progress.
Vicksburg, MS Vicksburg National Military Park A park ranger will lead you through the National Military Park which commemorates the campaign, siege, and defense of Vicksburg in 1863.

The excursion concludes with a brief bus tour of downtown Vicksburg and the riverfront murals.
St. Francisville, LA Rosedown Plantation Tour The affluent ambiance of the Rosedown Plantation is evident the minute you step on the property. As you walk down the flowered path lined with towering oaks towards the Main House, you will be greeted by our lively resident expert, Tamie Miller. Throughout the tour, Tamie delves deep into the family history of Daniel and Martha Turnbull, sharing how their experiences helped shape the Main House into a home. At the conclusion of your tour, take time to peruse the grounds on your own or relax in a rocking chair on the front porch.
