A Creole plantation on River Road north of New Orleans, Laura was run by women for four generations, passed from mother to daughter over a period of nearly 100 years. Guides explain how family papers located in Paris form the basis for reconstructing a portrait of early nineteenth century life on the plantation, including the role of enslaved laborers. When making your reservation, please ask for Charlene Martinez and let her know that you are with the Wellesley group. Alumnae are responsible for making their own reservations. A good number of the rooms reserved are doubles so consider pairing up with a roommate.
