Lafayette Cemetery No. 1

While the kids were out for spring break and my parents were here, we drove over to New Orleans for a day trip. Mom was able to visit with Tootsie, dad and Tucker were able to check out the World War II museum, and I was finally able to get into one of the local cemeteries. I am simply amazed at the architecture and beauty that is put into the building of these. The one we visited is located in the Garden District. I had to come home and do a little research to find out more about it. It was established in 1833 and is the only cemetery in New Orleans that is dedicated to anyone, a musician. There is a confederate general as well as several civil war vets buried here also.
