Stand under ancient live oaks, dripping with Spanish Moss, and hear moving stories of the marginalized people who stood there before you–enslaved Africans, Native Americans, German farmers, and Acadians (Cajuns). This multifaceted, multi-sensory historical tour was created and is hosted by Dianne "Gumbo Marie" Honore, a descendant of Jean Baptiste Destrehan, the father of the original owner of Destrehan Plantation, and an enslaved African woman named Genevieve Bienville.
