Know of any abandoned or off the beaten path plantations?

Coming to NO in a couple of months. We will be traveling around the river road area. I am very interested in plantations, but would like to find some not-so well known or visited ones along the way. I have done a bit of research over the years and have become very fond of Whitney Plantation. I know that it was bought by John Cummings awhile back with intentions of turning into a museum. Does anyone know when they are opening it? Also, any other plantations along the way that are either abandoned or not as advertised as the others are. These are the ones that we are really interested in seeing.

Not around N.O., but there are some wonderful ruins of plantations outside of Baton Rouge (don%26#39;t know name) and between Natchez and Vicksburg, MS called the Ruins of Windsor.
