Overview

You will hear the personal stories of four generations of a Louisiana Creole family, including personal, authentic stories of the enslaved people that lived their lives on Laura Plantation. You will get to visit the 1805 “Maison Principale”, the gardens, and the original 1840s enslaved cabins where the Louisiana stories of Compair Lapin were recorded.

These intimate stories about four generations of free and enslaved members of the Creole families who lived here were gleaned from handwritten memoirs and archival documents from the United States and France. Each story told is a true, personal account of the women, children and men who spent their lives on this sugar farm.
