Alligator cheesecake! I suggest getting there when they open around 5pm or you'll wait a long time. If you do end up waiting, The Maple Leaf is next door and a great spot for a beer while you wait.

Sightseeing
This plantation tour, unlike some of the others, is focused on the history of slavery and the slaves who lived there (rather than the plantation owners). It is a very unique historical experience and is highly recommended!
