Locally known as "the longest Main Street in the world", Bayou Lafourche once served as a 100-mile major water thoroughfare connecting Southern Louisiana communities. From its juncture at the Mississippi River, Bayou Lafourche connected New Orleans to Donaldsonville communities and then traveled southeast through towns in Lafourche Parish. The watery “Main Street” provided passage to Terrebonne Parish communities via an offshoot, Terrebonne Bayou, at Thibodaux, Louisiana. Today, Bayou Lafourche still follows its southerly course through Southern Lafourche Parish communities, finally emptying into the Gulf of America at Grand Isle.Enjoy a historic, guided tour on Bayou Lafourche to the E.D. White Historic Site, birthplace of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Edward Douglass White, a pioneer of the “Rule of Reason” and key supporter of Antitrust laws that still protect fair trade in the United States. You'll also experience a typical Creole Sugar Planation built in the early 19th century and transformed into its current Greek Revival style under White’s ownership.

Locally known as "the longest Main Street in the world", Bayou Lafourche once served as a 100-mile major water thoroughfare connecting Southern Louisiana communities. From its juncture at the Mississippi River, Bayou Lafourche connected New Orleans to Donaldsonville communities and then traveled southeast through towns in Lafourche Parish. The watery “Main Street” provided passage to Terrebonne Parish communities via an offshoot, Terrebonne Bayou, at Thibodaux, Louisiana. Today, Bayou Lafourche still follows its southerly course through Southern Lafourche Parish communities, finally emptying into the Gulf of America at Grand Isle.Enjoy a historic, guided tour on Bayou Lafourche to the E.D. White Historic Site, birthplace of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Edward Douglass White, a pioneer of the “Rule of Reason” and key supporter of Antitrust laws that still protect fair trade in the United States. You'll also experience a typical Creole Sugar Planation built in the early 19th century and transformed into its current Greek Revival style under White’s ownership.
