What makes Water History and Green Tour of New Orleans a unique experience ?
The Muddy Mississippi and its hair pin turn is right here in New Orleans. It is what drives our tourism, trade and commerce. See it rolling live and in person.
Known as one of New Orleans’ most recognizable landmarks, Jackson Square is a National Historic Landmark nestled in the center of the French Quarter. The 2.5-acre space welcomes over 2 million visitors and locals each year and hosts a number of city events and celebrations, weddings and photography sessions. Jackson Square has even served as a backdrop in a number of popular feature films and television shows. The landmark earns its name for the bronze statue of Andrew Jackson located in the center of the square.
Washington Artillery Park sits across from Jackson Square along the Mississippi Riverfront. It was formally dedicated in 1976 to honor the “soldiers of France, Spain, the Confederacy, and the United States” (inscribed on plaque). The Washington Artillery Association formed in 1838 and was mustered into the Confederacy, where it participated in numerous battles against the United States. Following the Civil War, the Association was renamed the “Louisiana Volunteer Field Artillery” and helped crush labor strikes throughout the state including precipitating the events that led up to the massacre of some six dozen Louisianans outside Thibodaux in 1887.
A 200 year old landmark that’s as casual and unique as its French Quarter surroundings. The building’s first occupant, Nicholas Girod, was mayor of New Orleans from 1812 to 1815. He offered his residence to Napoleon in 1821 as a refuge during his exile.
Napoleon never made it, but the name stuck, and since then, the Napoleon House has become one of the most famous bars in America, a haunt for artists and writers throughout most of the 20th century.
