Lafayette Cemetery No. 1- New Orleans

Established in 1833, Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 in the Garden District, this popular tourist attraction is located just one block from St. Charles line of the streetcar line.  It was originally established for the city cemetery of Lafayette.  Over the past few decades, many tombs were vandalized or ruined, but the group "Save our Cemeteries" has worked hard to restore this very historic cemetery in New Orleans.
