Overview
Local award-winning author and historian Sally Asher will take you on a tour of a famous New Orleans cemetery that she wrote about her in book "Stories from the St. Louis Cemeteries of New Orleans." On this walking tour, you'll learn about burial practices, types of tombs, and visit the graves of some of the city's notable (and notorious) citizens including the hunchbacked photographer who secretly photographed prostitutes, the woman behind the quirky castle, the famed architect whose ship went down with over a 100 prostitutes and circus performers, and legendary chefs who collectively advanced the Civil Rights movement, restored horse racing in the city, and (for better or worse) introduced the turducken to the U.S. The tour takes an 1:15 and is under a mile. Sally is passionate about revealing New Orleans' unusual, outrageous, and untold stories, believing history isn’t about merely listing dates and facts, but the gentle collision of truth and narrative – scandals and all!

St. Louis Cemetery No. 3
Local author and historian Sally Asher will take you on a journey of a famous New Orleans cemetery.
It’s been written that St. Louis Cemetery #3 has so many angels that one can “almost hear the beat of their wings.” You'll visit the graves and learn about some of the city's notable (and notorious) citizens including the first businesswoman to have a public statute erected in her honor, the hunchbacked photographer who secretly photographed prostitutes, the woman behind the quirky castle, the famed architect whose ship went down in a hurricane with over a hundred prostitutes and circus performers, and some legendary chefs who collectively advanced the Civil Rights movement, restored horse racing in New Orleans, and (for better or worse) introduced the turducken to the U.S..
This tour takes approximately an hour and a half and covers roughly a half mile.
The tour meets in front of the cemetery on 3421 Esplanade Ave at the gate farthest to the right underneath the trees.

Sally rocks!

Sally was out of this world awesome! Made the tour so interesting and answered our groups questions. Honestly, we could have spent way longer with her hearing about the cemetery.

Excellent tour. Sally was extremely knowledgeable about the cemetery history and some of the people buried there. She kept you engaged with fun stories. She also recommended a great nearby place to eat where locals frequent. I would recommend this tour.
