Oldest cemetery in the city |
3421 Esplanade Ave New Orleans, LA 70119 +1 504 482 5065 http://www.archdiocese-no.org |
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. Located on the boundary of the French Quarter, this is the oldest cemetery in the city. The above ground burial practices are typical of swampy New Orleans, where early settlers soon discovered that coffins buried in the ground would float to the surface after a hard rain. There are many ornate family tombs and vaults, but for safety reasons you are encouraged to visit these attractions with a tour group. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Voo-doo No. 2 |
3421 Esplanade Ave New Orleans, LA 70119 +1 504 482 5065 http://www.archdiocese-no.org |
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. Second to the original St. Louis Cemetery, number two was built in the 1820's after the population in New Orleans increased as well as the outbreaks of yellow fever. This above-ground addition is located two blocks from Number One, both owned, operated and maintained by the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Tours are recommended, due to the unsafe surrounding neighborhood. Review © 2007, Wcities |
