Plaquemine Lock State Historic Site

After Oak Alley Plantation, a toured a second, nearby plantation, called Laura, which was operated by a Create family.  It gave me a different perspective.  Then, I began my drive north.in earnest.  I  plan to parallel the Mississippi River most of the way.   On that theme I stopped a river related historic site.   plaquemine locks completed in 1909 & until it was replaces with a bigger nearby lock, it allowed boats a shortcut between the river and gulf.
