New Orleans St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 Walking Tour
Beskrivelse
Den lokale prisvindende forfatter og historiker Sally Asher vil tage dig med på en rundvisning på en berømt kirkegård i New Orleans, som hun skrev om hende i bogen "Stories from the St. Louis Cemeteries of New Orleans." På denne vandretur vil du lære om begravelsespraksis, typer af grave og besøge gravene for nogle af byens bemærkelsesværdige (og berygtede) borgere, herunder den pukkelryggede fotograf, der i hemmelighed fotograferede prostituerede, kvinden bag det skæve slot, den berømte arkitekt, hvis skib gik ned med over 100 prostituerede og cirkusartister og legendariske kokke, der i fællesskab fremmede borgerrettighedsbevægelsen, genoprettede hestevæddeløb i byen og (på godt og ondt) introducerede turducken til USA. Turen tager en 1. :15 og er under en mile. Sally brænder for at afsløre New Orleans' usædvanlige, skandaløse og ufortalte historier, og tror på, at historie ikke kun handler om at opremse datoer og fakta, men om den blide kollision mellem sandhed og fortælling – skandaler og det hele!

Rejseplan
Den lokale forfatter og historiker Sally Asher vil tage dig med på en rejse på en berømt kirkegård i New Orleans. Det er blevet skrevet, at St. Louis Cemetery #3 har så mange engle, at man "næsten kan høre deres vingers slag." Du vil besøge gravene og lære om nogle af byens bemærkelsesværdige (og berygtede) borgere, inklusive den første forretningskvinde, der fik en offentlig statut opført til hendes ære, den pukkelryggede fotograf, der i hemmelighed fotograferede prostituerede, kvinden bag det skæve slot, den berømte arkitekt, hvis skib gik ned i en orkan med over hundrede prostituerede og cirkusartister og nogle legendariske kokke, der i fællesskab fremmede borgerrettighedsbevægelsen, genoprettede hestevæddeløb i New Orleans og (på godt og ondt) introducerede turducken til USA. Denne tur tager cirka halvanden time og dækker cirka en halv mil. Turen mødes foran kirkegården på 3421 Esplanade Ave ved porten længst til højre under træerne.

Very informative and intriguing. Highly recommendable. It is worth it, despite the unforgiving weather.
I’ve done other Nola tours, including other cemetery tours. And tours in other areas, also. The tour with Sally Asher is one of the best. She is extremely well informed about Nola history and especially as it relates to local cemeteries. I would definitely recommend one of her tours.
We did the Angels and Architecture tour with Geoff today and I couldn't have been more pleased! It was a scorcher of a day but Geoff had umbrellas for us to shield the sun. Right off the bat, he was so personable and fun to talk to. He shared the most interesting stories about the entombment process, the various types of tombs, and fascinating characters who call the cemetery their now home. With his background as a funeral director and love of learning (and sharing) history, he was a stellar guide. The tour was taylored to all our questions and exceeded our expectations. It was hands down the best tour of our week's vacation. Don't look any further, book this tour. Thank you Geoff! If you're ever in Oregon, we'll meet up with you at Blockbuster!
Geoff was a great tour guide . Very friendly and knowledgeable. He was very kind and even brought a few UMBRELLAS we could borrow!!!! The cemetery was beautiful and well preserved.
This was one of our favorite experiences in New Orleans. Our guide, Sally, was friendly, informative, and clearly passionate about the history of St. Louis Cemetery #3. We learned so much about New Orleans culture, burial traditions, and local history. The cemetery is peaceful, beautiful, and full of interesting stories. The tour was well organized, easy to follow, and never felt rushed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and authentic New Orleans experience.
Sally was amazing! She's an author of several books on New Orleans history and cemeteries. She really knows her stuff! Our first time to New Orleans and this was a great tour to "get our feet wet" on the who, what,where and why of cemeteries! Sally was so knowledgeable and thoughtful you can definitely tell she truly cares about the history, upkeep and preservation of these beautiful historical cemeteries

This was an outstanding and enjoyable tour! Our guide, Sally Asher, was exuberant and brought history to life. Her knowledge gave us insight to the architecture that we could have easily walked by on our own. The fun facts and human stories were educational, humorous, and added to this fun adventure! I highly recommend this tour!
