Plantation Country refers to a region in the southern United States, particularly in Louisiana, known for its historic plantations. These plantations were large agricultural estates that primarily produced sugarcane and cotton during the 18th and 19th centuries. Many of these sites now serve as museums, showcasing the architecture and history of the antebellum period. The area is characterized by its scenic landscapes, featuring sprawling fields, live oak trees, and the Mississippi River. Visitors can explore several well-preserved plantations, such as Oak Alley and Laura Plantation, which offer insights into the lives of both the plantation owners and enslaved people who worked there.
