Vacation- Oak Alley Plantation Vacherie Louisiana Part 6

Before our road trip to the mountains, we spent a few days and a weekend with my family. Martha (my sister), my Mom, Mark and I visited the famous Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie Lousiana. About 1 hour outside of Baton Rouge.

Oak Alley-
A Historic plantation located on the Mississippi River in Vacherie Louisiana. It is protected as a National Historic Landmark. It is named after its distinguishing feature, an alley of a double row of live oaks about 800 feet (240 meters) long, which was planted in the early 1700s, long before the present house was built. The alley leads towards the Mississippi River.
