Hi All,
For our last day in the area we visited a sugar cane plantation about an hour west of New Orleans. This photo explains the name.
The "Big House" built in 1833 was home to Jacques Roman and his family.
Interior photos were not allowed but Carl got this from their web site.
This bell controlled activities on the plantation.
Cabins where the enslaved people lived were recreated. The originals were destroyed in 1905.
The live oaks of oak alley are huge. Some have 30 foot trunk circumferences. This one had huge branches arching south towards the sunlight.
Tomorrow we move on to Gulf Islands National Seashore in Pensacola Beach.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
