New Orleans St. Louis #3 Cemetery Walking Tour: Angels, Architecture and Ghosts

Visit an off-the-tourist-beaten-path destination in New Orleans, St. Louis Cemetery No. 3. and join local author and historian Sally Asher for this guided tour to learn all about it.

The cemetery was founded in 1854, and over the years, it has served as the final resting place for many notable people. It is famous for its many angel statues that one can “almost hear the beat of their wings.”

Strolling around, among the graves you will visit, and the people you will learn about are – the first businesswoman to have a public statue erected in her honor, the hunchbacked photographer who secretly photographed prostitutes, the woman behind the quirky castle, legendary chefs who were activists in the Civil Rights movement.
