What Visitors Have Said About The Experience

Students and educators alike have praised the quality and impact of this “Stepping Back Into Time” experience:

  • “Presenters were great with the students. Great Job! Many of our students have never had an opportunity to visit a plantation, so this field trip was the 1st experience of this kind. One of my parents saw me the day following and remarked that her son has never come home after a field trip so excited and ready to share the new information he had learned at San Francisco.” – Page, Teacher at LaPlace Elementary
  • “I enjoyed every part of it. I loved watching the blacksmith make nails and hooks. I really liked playing townball.” - Malorie, student at Reserve Christian
  • “Thank-you so much for the enriching visit to the plantation home. The children enjoyed it thoroughly and learned many new things. We truly appreciated the hospitality.” – Karen, Teacher at John L. Ory
  • “We learned about Antebellum time. Antebellum means before the war. We visited the slave quarters and the one room school house. We learned about the Mississippi River. I loved the trip.” – Beth, student at John L. Ory
  • “I liked the part when we went to the big house. I learned a lot of things. I can almost imagine myself in that house!” – Kimberlie, student at Reserve Christian
