Whitney Plantation museum confronts painful history of slavery

The Skeleton Key House-Filming Location
This video highlights the beauty of the Felicity plantation. The Felicity plantation was the main filming location of The Skeleton Key, a suspense/thriller movie that stared Kate Hudson.
While my family and I were in Louisiana, we decided to stop by the plantation only to find out that it was still under renovation. We took a tour at the St. Joseph plantation, which is next door, and the family told us that they own both the St. Joseph and Felecity (Skeleton Key) Plantation. We had a great time at the St. Joseph plantation and would recommend it over most plantation tours due to several reasons. First being that our tour guide, a very nice elder lady, was in fact a family member of the owners of the plantation. She told us stories about how she would spend time in the summer at the St. Joseph plantation with her grandmother, as her grandmother currently lived there. This made the plantation feel extremely authentic as it is the last plantation which has been owned under the same family. Secondly, this plantation isn't meant to be the grandest or most stately of all the plantations on the Mississippi, unlike most of the other plantations that offer tours. The St. Joseph plantation was a working sugar plantation, not meant to be flashy, and is a time capsule reason being it has had minimal changes since its construction (embellishments/additions).
The Skeleton Key is one of my all time favorite movies, regardless of genres. This film is about care taker Caroline Ellis, Kate Hudson, and how she finds herself intermingling with the evil spirits of the house's slaves. At the end of The Skeleton Key is a twist that is sure to get you talking about this fantastic movie. A must see!

Discover New Orleans Plantation Country
New Orleans Plantation Country is a strip of land, about 120-miles long, along the Mississippi River. Known as the River Parishes and located in between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. We are known for our unique history, agriculture, cuisine and ecosystems. Influences from Germans, Acadians (Cajuns), French, Spanish, Native Americans and enslaved Africans blend together to create a regional culture - unique even to Louisiana.
Out here, you will hear stories of previous generations through tours of plantation estates.
Then you will explore the swamps to learn of their importance and encounter the creatures who live in harmony with the locals. You’ll see why Lac Des Allemands is the “Catfish Capital of the Universe” and known for freshwater crab.
Smoked andouille and Cajun/Creole recipes passed down from generation to generation have been perfected over time and will bring you right to the heart and soul of the River Parishes.
Finally, you’ll discover Perique tobacco, which can only be grown out here.

The Washingtons of Wessyngton Plantation: John F. Baker
The Wessyngton Plantation was established in 1796 by Joseph Washington 1770-1848, a cousin of President Washington. By 1860 Wessyngton encompassed more than 15,000 acres and held 274 slaves there. Names associated with the plantation include: Washington, Cheatham, Blow, Green, White, Williams, Terry, Lewis, Scott, and Gardner. John F. Baker extensively traces all of the families from this plantation (descendants of the plantation owners and the enslaved population). He finds the familial connection he felt initially to a photograph in a history book, is tied to his true ancestral heritage.

New Orleans - Destrehan Plantation
Destrehan Plantation
The Destrehan Plantation sits just 20 minutes outside New Orleans on the Mississippi River. Established in 1787 the Destrehan Plantation remains the oldest documented plantation home in the lower Mississippi Valley. Rene-Robert Cavelier Sieur de Salle, who had travelled the Mississippi river, claimed this territory for France anticipating it to be a source of great wealth for the country. A young son of a Paris financial family, which was part of the court of Louis XV, packed his trunks and sailed to the new world. Destined to find a family that would have a profound impact on Louisiana and the entire United States, he helped set standards by which new territories would be included into the union and shaped the laws of the State of Louisiana. Little did this young man suspect that his son’s family home would still be standing in the 21st century. We now refer to this home as Destrehan Plantation.
