This unique small-tour experience will guide you to the oldest above-ground cemetery in the United States, St. Louis No.1. Learn about the hauntings, history, and unusual burial practices that make our cemetery one of a kind, and learn the scandalous history of its most-celebrated occupants, including voodoo priestess Marie Laveau, civil rights pioneer Homer Plessy, and that scandalous Creole Bernard de Marigny, as well as view the future tomb of Nicholas Cage! Learn about society tombs, stepped tombs, wall vaults, family burials and so much more, plus see where Easy Rider was filmed and why the church wasn't too happy about it! Departing from the old French Quarter, the original section of New Orleans, this tour will reveal the dark secrets and humble beginnings of New Orleans, discussing voodoo, hoodoo, and scandals, before taking you into a city of the dead like no other! You now must have a guide approved by the Archdiocese of New Orleans to visit St. Louis No.1.
