The Greater River Road Area between Baton Rouge and New Orleans is home to some of the most historic plantations not just in Louisiana, but the entire country. It’s this historic little road where you’ll find the iconic plantations like Oak Alley, Houmas House, Laura Plantation, and countless others. While Oak Alley may be the most famous plantation, there’s one that’s absolutely massive and you simply have to see it to believe it, and that’s the Nottoway Plantation in White Castle.
You’ll find the Nottoway Plantation tucked away in the tiny town of White Castle, Louisiana.
