Louisiana: Oak Valley Plantation

 

Oak Alley Plantation, located in St. James Parish, in the community of Vacherie, was named for its double row of southern oak trees that were planted in the early 1700s, long before the house, itself, was built. Known for its architecture and landscaping, some of the most notable of which was performed in the mid-1800s by an enslaved gardener, the property has been designated a national historic landmark.
