There is more than one way to experience Destrehan Plantation. You can choose between our Life at Destrehan Plantation Tour, our most popular tour, which shares the legacy of the Destrehan family, lives of the enslaved, historic events that occurred at this site, and the unique architectural features of the plantation, and The Unheard Voice of the German Coast Tour, an interactive historical tour hosted by a family descendant, Dianne Honore', nicknamed "Gumbo Marie," and tells the stories of those marginalized people such as German farmers, Acadians (Cajuns), enslaved Africans and Native Americans who cultivated Louisiana's Heritage. For groups of 20 or more, you can opt for a private, class, or group tour.
While the holidays are a wonderful time to pay us a call, there’s something new to experience in every season at Destrehan Plantation. If you’re a visitor here, you’ll treasure your time at Destrehan. If you’re from Louisiana, bring your out-of-town guests, your club members, or come yourself and explore our shared heritage without distraction.
All proceeds from tours go to the restoration and preservation of Destrehan Plantation and its dependency buildings.
Admission fees include the guided tour by a costumed historical interpreter, demonstration(s), and self-exploring the exhibits, dependency buildings, and grounds.
