Still, they all had one thing in common … they CARED enough to try. Most of them are gone now, leaving only bits and pieces of the whole story … yellowed documents in parish archives, remembrances shared from generation to generation, a letter or two, and faded photographs. But most important of all, Oak Alley herself. Oak Alley’s adaptive restoration in 1925 by her new owners, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Stewart, was the first example of Antebellum restoration along River Road. Through the years, Oak Alley was the scene of many events affecting those who had given her a second chance at survival in the struggle against time and the elements. Josephine Stewart outlived her husband by 26 years. Shortly before her death on October 3, 1972, Josephine created a non-profit foundation which would be known as the Oak Alley Foundation. Since then, the home and 25 acres of grounds has remained open for all to share.What To ExpectOnce arriving at Oak Alley you will be given a guided tour of the mansion witch will last about 30 minutes, in addition you will have another 30 to 45 minutes for a self guided tour and if you use your time wisely you can maybe have lunch at the Oak Alley cafe or Deli or enjoy a mint julep under the beautiful oaks hotel return will be around noon.
