The Whitney Plantation in Louisiana stands apart from many Southern estates by refusing to host weddings or celebratory events on its grounds. Unlike other plantations that market themselves as picturesque venues, Whitney is dedicated to education and remembrance, focusing on the brutal reality of slavery that shaped its history. The site serves as a museum and memorial, honoring the lives of enslaved people who suffered, labored, and died there.

The leadership at Whitney Plantation has made it clear that they do not glamorize the main house or the grounds. Their mission is to educate visitors about slavery and its legacies, not to provide a backdrop for parties that could overshadow or disrespect the memory of those who endured unimaginable cruelty on the property. They believe that celebrating weddings in such a location erases the suffering that occurred and sends a harmful message about whose stories matter.

Instead of mourning the loss of a plantation house, we should be pushing for all remaining plantations to be converted into museums that honestly confront the horrors that happened there. Germany has set a powerful example by turning concentration camps and other sites of atrocity into places of education and remembrance, not celebration. Plantations in the United States should follow this model, ensuring that these sites are dedicated to telling the truth about slavery and honoring the memory of those who suffered, rather than serving as venues for parties or romanticized nostalgia.
