Laura Plantation has a tour that-at it's end-connects with a tour in NOLA that goes to the Louisiana Historical Collection, the Pharmacy Museum, St. Louis Cemetary No. 1, connects with American Horror Story and then connects with some of the Laura Family's property in the Quarter.
I am a former History Major and between the Laura tour and the companion French Quarter Tour, it was crack rock for me. The guides, the properties, and the history finally tied in the differences and definitions of things like Creole and Anglo plantations.
We never understood the differences between a place like Laura and Nottoway (where my wife and I were married). They are drastically different in layout, splendor, amenities, etc. But they both managed massive sugarcane cultivation operations. Taking the two tours drove home the differences between them and teaching the cultural and social differences between true Creole plantations and people and their Anglo counterparts.
I can't recommend them both enough.
