Chalmette Battlefield
- Just downriver from New Orleans in Chalmette is the site of the January 8, 1815, Battle of New Orleans: Chalmette Battlefield.
Chalmette National Cemetery
- Although the Chalmette National Cemetery began as one of many large Federal cemeteries for Union war dead, , it serves today to link the generations. Its location is symbolic, being on the battlefield where a young United States continued its independence by defeating Great Britain in the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Joining those who fought for Union and freedom are veterans from 20th century wars.
Fazendeville
- When the smoke of the battle cleared, and the bodies returned to the earth, life went on at the site of the Battle of New Orleans. The land changed hands a number of times, by 1870 belonging to free man of color and grocer of New Orleans Jean-Pierre Fazende. He subdivided it into 33 lots and sold off the swampy, unappealing land to eager buyers: former slaves and free people of color following the Civil War. And so, Fazendeville war born.
