28 Best Things to Do in New Orleans Beyond Bourbon Street | Condé Nast Traveler

"The museum has over a dozen historical structures that they have preserved, many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The structures include the Antioch Baptist church, which was first erected in nearby Paulina, and reassembled on the plantation grounds, as well as the basic accommodations and work stations such as a blacksmith’s cabin. The main permanent exhibits are The History of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, which relates how the slave trade began and its logistics, and Slavery in Louisiana, a more localized spotlight on the history of the Code Noir, and accounts of resistance and rebellion. Sculptures of the slaves and their children, and details of some of the lives lead there help to humanize the experience. Visitors can opt for the museum’s award-winning audio self-tour, or join a guided tour with trained interpreters." - Paul Oswell
