Kent House has a great herb day twice a year. You had better get there early, because they tend to sell out of many of the herbs.
My husband and I loved this plantation. We were on the first tour of the day and received the efforts of two lovely ladies who were very knowledgeable about the house and grounds. It is well worth the price and the time (about 1.5 hours). We have been to lots of southern plantations through the years and this one really stands out. Don't miss it!
My wife and I truly enjoyed the tour. The docent was personable and knowledgeable. The plantation itself was not too big, just a good size to spend about 90 minutes. Highly recommend this place to anyone.
The ladies that conducted this tour are fabulous they did not just spout out memorized tour guide stuff and shuttle you along like a lot of guides do. It was a very back and forth conversation about historical information they knew and information I knew along with my wife we had the best time kind wish we could have stayed longer. Hands down one of the most recommendable experiences I had visiting Louisiana.
I thoroughly enjoy taking visitors to Kent Plantation House. It provides a well preserved and cared for representation of life in that period of Louisiana history. The docents conducting tours are well educated and informative. There are times during the year when special events are held with syrup making and cooking being demonstrated.
Went on this tour with my daughter and it was awesome, loved the main house and enjoyed the outside your as well. The location was convenient and really enjoyed the tour guides stories and personal touch. I really want to go to Sugar Day the 2nd Saturday in November.
I love to tour places like this, and my husband and I got to see some things without doing the tour. I loved the visitor center, which we browsed in for awhile. In my opinion, the tour cost was too much and they didn't let us wander around without a guide, so we didn't get to do it this time,
kent is a very nice site, and easy to find. the tour was interesting and given by very nice ladies, who are well informed. the plantation house and various buildings and gardens are on the acerage.they are not open on sundays and it seemed I was always through there on that day, so had been unable to tour, until this trip. I would highly recommend the site.
Call ahead for the schedule they have enjoyable and educational activities during the year. My sister-in-law and I thoroughly enjoyed tour due to knowledgeable tour guides who enjoyed their jobs of bringing history alive. The bathrooms for visitors were clean and modern.
reenactments are interesting, usually authentic and fact filled. volunteers in costumes for theme, etc.
