    Oak Alley Plantation

    VacherieUnited States1837–present

    Famous across the world for its breathtaking 800-foot alley of 28 evenly spaced 300-year-old southern live oaks leading from the Mississippi River to the mansion front doors, Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana, is a premier National Historic Landmark. Built in 1837–1839 by wealthy sugarcane planter Jacques Télesphore Roman, the estate is steeped in antebellum history, civil war occupation, and persistent ghost legends featuring shadowy figures gazing from upper windows, phantom carriages, and unseen presences in the historic bedrooms.
