Lousiana is noted for it's antebellum plantation homes, and among them none is more picturesque or ideally situated than Oak Alley, "Grand Dame of the River Road." It sits on the banks of the Mississippi River on the Great River Road, about half way between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

One thing that sets this particular home apart is that it is framed with a quarter-mile driveway lined with magnificent live oaks, thought to be 300 years old. The canopy of evergreen trees make a magnificent avenue leading from the Mississippi River to the Greek-revival plantation house. It was built in 1839 by a wealthy French Creole sugar planter, and is today owned and operated by the private Oak Alley Foundation.

Oak Alley is the most photographed of all Louisiana plantations, and has been featured in numerous movies as well as print and television commercials. A tour here offers a fascinating glimpse into a lifestyle and an era in the history of America's deep south that is now "Gone with the Wind."

There is a gift shop at the plantation and a restaurant which serves breakfast and lunch daily. Four cottages on the grounds serve as a Bed-and-breakfast Inn, offering respite from the three Ts of modern living: television, telephones and traffic.

Beneath the canopy of lime


Beneath the canopy of lime
I sense the steady pulse of time

I gaze at poplar oak and ash
Across the small ravine
As rural and as tranquil
As you’d want a past’ral scene

The wind goes swishing through the trees
And fluttering the grass
The flowers from the funeral
Are past
And past
And past

A crow calls out a cackle
While those song birds sweetly sing
Your body lies below me
Now without my golden ring

It’s not the way it was that night
We came here after dark
Explored a little dying
That was not so stark
As this. A soft dark bed of soil
And a sinking into bliss

Excitement in our living love
I’ll have to learn to miss
Your lips, now six feet under
Never more to kiss

Rustic Cedar uses only the finest cedar to create furniture that lasts for generations. It is naturally resistant to decay, insect and weather damage.

Cedar has an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio, which means that it is both durable and easy to move about. It does not shrink or wrap as many other woods commonly do. Unlike pressure-treated wood furniture, Rustic Cedar uses no chemical preservatives that may be harmful to your family's health. All cedar log furniture is s
