Touring The Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 In The Historic Garden District Of New Orleans A NOLA Must-See.
Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of New Orleans. Its' crypts and graves tell the story of Old, as well as present-day, New Orleans, starting in 1833 and continuing on until now, as it is still an active burial site. An interesting aspect of Lafayette Cemetery is that the inscriptions on the grave sites often will tell how the people died. We read of deaths from Yellow Fever, cholera, drowning, and the Civil War. It's also known as the Most-filmed cemetery in New Orleans, having been featured in several movies and TV shows. Among those are the movie, Double Jeopardy, and the TV shows, NCIS: New Orleans, and, The Originals. It has also been featured in a book by author Anne Rice, Interview With The Vampire. The cemetery is undergoing constant repairs to the tombs, conducted for the most part by the local, Save Our Cemetaries, organization. This is a very big undertaking, so as you walk around, don't be surprised if you see some tombs/crypts in different stages of disrepair. The Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 may not be something that everyone will want to see, but we found it a very interesting, historical, and sobering experience.

Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans
Today I visited Lafayette Cemetery in the Garden District of New Orleans. This place has some very old tombs, plus it's one of the most used cemeteries in New Orleans for film and television! It's been used for productions such as, 'Double Jeopardy', 'NCIS: New Orleans', and even the New Kids on the Block music video for 'You Got It (The Right Stuff)'.

Lafayette Cemetery No 1, New Orleans
I visted New Orleans with some friends, and simply had to visit the one of the famous cemeteries. While it had been clear and hot the rest of the trip, while we were there it started to pour down rain on us, cutting the visit short. Since I was drenched anyway, I decided to take a short film.

Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, New Orleans, a Garden District gem and Top Tourist Destination of the City
HostelTraveler.com
Located in what now is the heart of the Garden District, Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 is the oldest of the seven municipal, city-operated cemeteries in New Orleans. It is a non-segregated, non-denominational cemetery. There are #immigrants from over 25 different countries and natives of 26 states as identified on the closure tablets.
First planned in 1832, the cemetery was laid out with two center aisles, a cruciform (cross) pattern, lined with trees giving it a park or garden-like appearance, and divided the cemetery into four sections.
The #cemetery was named for the City of Lafayette, which was annexed to the City of New Orleans as the Fourth District. The area of New Orleans that once was the city of #Lafayette consists of two designated historical districts, the Irish Channel and the Garden District. The residents of the Irish Channel were first-generation immigrants many from Ireland and Germany, the two largest groups of #immigrants to settle in #NewOrleans in the two decades before the Civil War. It was known as a working-class poor neighborhood, a rough and tough riverfront area. The #GardenDistrict, on the other hand, represented the new wealth of immigrants from Great Britain and the North who came and made their #fortunes as cotton factors, brokers, and merchants after the #Louisiana Purchase. They are often called #Southern Yankees.
Famous New Orleans Cemetery-St.Louis No.1
Just love places like this...So if your like me. Then I hope you love this and get the chance to see it soon.Hugs Gene.
St. Louis Cemetery #1 is the oldest and most famous. It was opened in 1789, replacing the city's older St. Peter Cemetery (no longer in existence) as the main burial ground when the city was redesigned after a fire in 1788.
It is 8 blocks from the Mississippi River, on the north side of Basin Street, one block beyond the inland border of the French Quarter. It borders the Iberville housing project that was built over what was formerly Storyville. It has been in continuous use since its foundation. The nonprofit group Save Our Cemeteries and various commercial businesses offer tours for a fee.
Famous New Orleanians buried in St. Louis #1 include Etienne de Boré - wealthy pioneer of the sugar industry and the first mayor of New Orleans, Homer Plessy - the plaintiff from the landmark 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision on civil rights, and Ernest N. Dutch Morial - the first African-American Mayor of New Orleans.
The renown Voodoo priestess Marie Laveau is believed to be interred in the Glapion family crypt. Other notable New Orleanians here include Bernard de Marigny - the French-Creole playboy who brought the game of craps to the United States, Barthelemy Lafon - the architect and surveyor who allegedly became one of Jean Lafitte's pirates, and Paul Morphy, one of the earliest world champions of chess. Delphine LaLaurie is also believed to lay in rest here.
The cemetery spans just one square block, but is the resting place of over 100,000 dead.

Delphine LaLaurie is also believed to lay in rest here. Architect and engineer Benjamin Latrobe was buried there after dying from yellow fever in 1820 while doing engineering for the New Orleans water works. In 2010, actor Nicolas Cage purchased a pyramid shaped tomb to be his future final resting place.
The cemetery spans just one square block but is the resting place of many thousands. A Protestant section (generally not vaulted) lies in the north-west section.
