Oak Alley Plantation verkörpert wohl am besten die Antebellum-Zeit, in welcher der alte Süden noch von Southern Belles & Gentlemen repräsentiert wurde. Nahe am Mississippi gelegen bietet es einen herrlichen Einblick in die Zeit vor 1865 als der Süden der USA noch reich und mächtig war. Wir besuchten im Jahr 2000 "The deep old South".
