Embark on a guided exploration of Laura Plantation, catching glimpses of other historic estates as you traverse the Grand River Road. Witness breathtaking architecture and sweeping sugar cane fields. The 75-minute guided walk includes stops at the main residence, gardens, and slave quarters of Laura Plantation. Situated west of the Mississippi River in the core of Plantation Country, the main residence, built in 1805, has been returned to its original state when it served dual roles as a family dwelling and the administrative center for the sugar plantation. Extend your visit with a walk around the grounds housing 12 building listed on the National Register.
