Your Itinerary
Hurricane Katrina Memorial
On the former site of Charity Hospital’s paupers’ field, this ominous but oddly affecting circle of tombs holds the bodies of 85 unclaimed victims of the 2005 levee failures and the names of others who perished. It’s an unfussy place that’s easily missed, the better for contemplative solitude, perhaps. Surrounded by a storm-shaped series of pathways, the memorial does its duty in giving one substantial pause.
City Park
(Pass by)
City Park is as magical and unique as the city of New Orleans. The 1,300-acre outdoor oasis has enchanted New Orleanians since 1854, making it one of the nation’s oldest urban parks. Each year, millions of visitors stroll under the same historic oaks and picturesque moss canopies that served as the backdrop for dances, concerts and even gentlemanly duels or “affaires d’honneur” for generations.
Masonic Temple Cemetery #2
Founded in 1865 by the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana Free and Accepted Masons, the Masonic Cemetery expresses a character distinct from the Catholic cemeteries that dominate the city. It is known for its many unusual, elaborate tombs, a reputation due in part to the cemetery’s communal nature: members of lodges pooled resources to purchase large group tombs. Occupying two oddly shaped city blocks, the cemetery is triangular in plan, with Conti Street bisecting it. The triangular footprint of the bordering streets overlaid with the cemetery’s angular internal walkways mimics the Masonic emblem of the square and compass. Cast-iron picket fences enclose its two distinct sections, while oak allées line its northern and western edges. Tombs are compactly arranged in rows parallel to Bienville Street, with a wide, paved promenade cutting through the center to provide access to smaller walkways between rows.

Had a great time on Henry’s bus. He was super knowledgeable about the grave site types, funny and played great music on the bus. We took tons of pictures looking for spirits and he showed us pics from other visitors that caught images. Good time.

Our tour guide, Kendall was personable and knowledgeable. Answered a multitude of questions and was engaging. Didn't have much luck with "ghostly" encounters but it was fun. Wasn't too interested in the stop for refreshments, would rather have spent few more minutes at cemetary, but I'm sure the other folks needed a stop. All in all, nice experience.

Hearing the history was pretty cool. I liked the mini stop for a bathroom break and beignets! Wish we had more time to actually investigate with ghost hunting tools rather than use our phones and apps.

The whole group from teenagers to adults has a great time! David was an excellent/entertaining guide. The weather was uncooperative with periods of heavy rain, but we were able to make the best of it. Charity Cemetery has a interesting history.

I had fun acting out as a swimmer during the Katrina story as told by our guide. There was a lot of information given during the tour. Glad we had a brief break to get beignets.
