Destrehan Plantation - New Orleans

 Destrehan Plantation is one of the oldest in the area dating to 1787.  It was a working sugar cane and indigo plantation.  
 The gates are the original wrought iron








 Some of the photos post Civil War

 It is one of the few plantations that allows you to photograph the inside




 The original walls

 The Ladies sitting room in the foreground with the Gentleman's sitting room on the other side of the wall.



 The Slave Quarters still stand

 The Overseer's House is now an education building
