Historic Sites in Louisiana reveal the mixtures of the French and Spanish settlers and are like no other sites anywhere because the history of Louisiana is one of the most unique and fascinating. An Historic Site Theme Vacation give you the opportunity to explore the past and learn how it is responsible for the present, and how the present will be responsible for the future. These sites would make excellent stops on any Historic Site Theme Vacation in Louisiana.

The Kent Plantation House was built in 1796, not that long before Louisiana became a territory of the United States. It was a time of great transition for Louisiana and that change is reflected in the house. You can tour the house and see the furnishings of a prosperous family of that time. You can tour the grounds and see how the servants lived and worked. You can see the Milk House, Open Hearth Kitchen where that are cooking demonstrations, authentic Slave Cabins, the Eden Building, the home of one of the more important slaves, Carriage House, Barn, Blacksmith Shop and Sugar Mill. One thing you will come away with is the realization that a plantation like this was really a small town, mostly self sufficient. They have special exhibits that change each month and special events going on all year long. Check out the site for details on what is happening when you come for your Historic Site Theme Vacation in Louisiana. They are located at 3601 Bayou Rapides Road, Alexandria, Louisiana
