New Orleans Historic Cemetery Tour: Explore Our Cemeteries
Join us on a journey through three of New Orleans’ hallowed cemeteries. On this tour, your master storyteller will lead you through the maze of above-ground tombs in St. Patrick # 1, St. Patrick Cemetery #2, and the Katrina Memorial at Charity Hospital Cemetery.
From burial customs and traditions- to the history of the Masons and Catholics in New Orleans- to the deaths of the thousands buried in the graveyard behind the Katrina Memorial, this tour will leave you with feelings of trepidation and excitement, as well as with a reverence for our city’s incredible history.
This is a narrated 1.5 to 2 hour walking tour. You may bring your own beverages!
