Established in 1787 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Destrehan Plantation remains the oldest documented plantation home in the lower Mississippi Valley.

We invite you to travel from the French and Spanish Colonial periods, through the antebellum grandeur of the sugar barons, to the ravages of the Civil War and the rebirth of reconstruction. You will find yourself immersed in the rich history of Louisiana when French was the language, and the white gold of sugar drove the economy. Family stories of those free and enslaved set against the fabric of history will intrigue every visitor to the site.

The plantation’s history consists of many notable people and events. The plantation served as a home to Marie Celeste Robin de Logny and her husband Jean Noel Destrehan, the most successful sugar producer in St. Charles Parish and one of the driving forces in Louisiana Statehood. The plantation exhibits an original document signed by President Thomas Jefferson and Secretary of State James Madison appointing Jean Noel to the Orleans Territorial Council responsible for creating Louisiana’s civil law of government.

Destrehan Plantation was the site where one of the three trials took place following the 1811 Slave Revolt, one of the largest slave revolts in U.S. History led by Charles Deslondes. During the Civil War, the Union Army seized the plantation and established the Rost Home Colony where newly freed slaves learned trades enabling them to transition into a life of freedom.

Located on the historic River Road, this antebellum home with its lush green grounds and moss draped Live Oaks watches over the banks of the Mississippi River just minutes away from New Orleans.

New Orleans Ghost Adventures Tours is the first tour company in New Orleans to provide ghost tours that teach people the historical origins of the tales they’ve heard; a study and not a story. Therefore, there are no theatrics (like people dressed up like drunken pirates). No one jumping out to scare you because the focus is to be historically accurate. Due to this, the stories are told by college professors or high school history teachers as well as history students/historians.

Based on the happenings around the city your tour guide will modify your tour so you maximize your chance at experiencing the unworldly! Be sure to share your stories with the group because the more you delve into the mood of the evening the more exciting the experience. Send us any pictures you take containing paranormal activity. We will evaluate them and post them on our social media pages.
