| Chalmette National Battlefield and Cemetery (Jean Lafitte NHP) | |
|---|---|
|
The Jean Lafitte National Historic Park covers several sites around New Orleans, but I was only at the Chalmette National Battlefield and Cemetery Didja ever hear the song, "Battle of New Orleans"? The final battle between the Brits and the Americans was fought here, with catastrophic results for England. |

| Fort Pike State Historic Site | |
|---|---|
|
Fort Pike was one of many defensive structures built in response to the War of 1812 by the government to protect the coastline of the United States. They were completely obsolete by the middle of the Civil War, with the invention of the rifled canon. I was at the Fort in 2002. In 2005, the Fort took the brunt of Hurricane Katrina. I'm not sure how badly it was damaged, but it's only open by appointment now. |

| Honey Island Swamp Tours | |

|
I took one of the Honey Island Swamp Tours in 2002, a few years before
Katrina worked the place over, and it's close enough to the Gulf to have seen the storm surge.
I'm sure the swamp tours still exist, just perhaps a little different. |
