Despite a devastating fire on August 9, 2004, Laura Plantation has continued
to offer visitors
what Lonely Planet calls
"The Best History Tour in the U.S."
The morning following the fire, guests continued to come. And they still do.

The Creole Big House at Laura Plantation will spend most
of her bicentennial year cocooned
in scaffolding as framers,
carpenters, masons and plasterers
begin the process of restoring her to
her 1805 configuration.

The tour at Laura Plantation
has never
been about the house and the furniture.
It's about the people...
the men, the women,
the children, the slaves, the workers.
It's a window into Louisiana's disappearing
Creole world.
