  • Jackson Square, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
    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.
    15 minutes
  • Washington Artillery Park, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
    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.
    15 minutes
  • 500 Chartres St, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA
    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.

This was so interesting! Water is part of our every day life and we don't realize how much we come into contact with it daily unless it is shut off. This tour really opens your eyes. Water is in an integral part of the history of New Orleans. The staff is so knowledgeable and ties in the history with water. This tour will make you think of things you never thought about. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful and enlightening tour. This is so well done and much needed. I helped Louisiana rebuild after Katrina and this was my first trip back. The differences are immense but I did not know the details of everything. My goodness its an amazing tour.
