About this listen
🎙️
Let's dive into the enchanting world of Oak Alley Plantation! This iconic spot is famous for its jaw-dropping 800-foot alley lined with ancient live oaks, and it's not just a pretty face; it has a rich and complex history.
From its beginnings in the early 1800s, the plantation became a shining star in Louisiana's sugar industry, earning its owner the title of "King of Sugar." But hold onto your hats, because the story isn’t all sunshine and magnolias—over 220 enslaved people worked this land, and their stories are just as crucial to understanding Oak Alley today.
So, whether you're a history buff or just here for the beautiful scenery, we’re unpacking it all in this episode!
