What kind of plantation is Oak Alley?

Today it is an historical site and museum. In earlier times, it was a working sugar cane plantation, then after the turn of the century it would become a cattle ranch. Today's Oak Alley Plantation is two entities: the non-profit Oak Alley Foundation which owns and manages the historic Big House and Alley of Oaks, and the Oak Alley Plantation Restaurant & Inn which operates a restaurant, gift shop, and overnight cottages on the grounds. The property is also leased out as a working sugar cane plantation today.
