Tips from the community
Unlike traditional plantation tours that often glorify the antebellum South, the Whitney Plantation's mission is to educate visitors about the harsh realities of slavery. Visitors can explore original slave cabins, a freedmen's church, and memorials dedicated to the enslaved individuals who lived and worked on the plantation. One of the most significant features of the Whitney Plantation is its Wall of Honor, which bears the names of more than 350 enslaved individuals who lived on the plantation.
