We will make a rest stop along the way and have lunch on our own before arriving in St. Francisville. On arrival in St. Francisville we will make a stop at the West Feliciana Historical Society to pick up our guide and tickets for events of the week-end. Closer to departure date the exact homes open for us to enjoy will be available. Our guide will direct us to our first home tour. Our next stop will be to visit Afton Villa Gardens.
