Great River Road
Oak Alley Plantation, LA

Oak Alley-- one of the grandest, and most photographed, plantations along the River Road. It was finished in the late 1830s for the Roman family, and reflected the Neo-classical influences of the era. The quarter-mile canopy of giant live oak trees, believed to be nearly 300 years old, forms an impressive avenue leading to the classic Greek Revival-style antebellum home. Oak Alley Plantation has been called the “Grande Dame of the Great River Road.”
