WHITNEY PLANTATION EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE HISTORY AND LEGACIES OF SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES

Whitney Plantation (legal name The Whitney Institute) is a non-profit museum dedicated to the history of the Whitney Plantation, which operated from 1752-1975 and produced indigo, sugar, and rice as its principal cash crops.

The museum preserves more than a dozen historical structures, many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Whitney Plantation Historic District.
