Oak Alley Plantation is a historic plantation located on the Mississippi River in the community of Vacherie, Louisiana. It is protected as a National Historic Landmark. It is named after its distinguishing feature, an alley or canopied path created by a double row of live oaks about 800 feet long, which was planted in the early 18th century, long before the present house was built. The alley leads towards the Mississippi River. The mansion on the plantation was built by George Swainy between 1837 and 1839 for Jacques Telesphore Roman.
I visited the Plantation last summer with some friends.
