During plantation tours, which are held from Thursday—Tuesday, guides lead groups through a working sugar-cane plantation, exploring original slave cabins and other historical structures. Relatives of the family that originally operated the plantation guide many of the tours. Children younger than 6 may attend for free.

St. Joseph Plantation

Original slave cabins are just one of the historical sites that groups explore during tours of St. Joseph Plantation, a working sugar-cane plantation built in 1830 that shares a fence line with neighboring Oak Alley Plantation. A schoolhouse, a blacksmith's shop, and many other structures reveal the workings of day-to-day life in the 19th century. Relatives of the family that has owned the property for more than 135 years guide many of the tours, peppering excursions with tidbits of history such as details about the childhood of plantation son and famed architect H.H. Richardson.

The Groupon Guide to: Minimizing Distractions

It’s easy to get distracted from what you’re doing, whether you’re writing an important essay, solving a mathematical proof, or crafting the perfect speech to explain spaying to your dog. Here are some sure-fire ways to minimize distractions and get the job done:

  • Turn off the TV.
  • Hide your video games.
  • Put the TV in a big box so you won’t look at it and imagine which of your favorite shows might be on.
  • Replace the box with a casket. TV is dead.
  • Burn your books: they’re just written TV.
  • Ask your roommate to move out if his life story is distractingly similar to that of classic TV character Mr. Simpson.
  • Close all the doors and windows so you don’t have to hear all the TVs driving down your street.
  • Imagine you’re on a TV show where you’ll win a million dollars if you don’t get distracted. Turn your TV back on so you can watch yourself on TV. Forget about what you were working on before; you’re a TV star now and you don’t have to do anything.

What is Mr. Simpson’s catch phrase?
