The cemetery includes exquisite statues, such as the Weeping Angel, interestingly designed mausoleums, and famous people (such as singer Louis Prima, and crossword puzzle lovers' Mel Ott). The people at the office were friendly and helpful in getting maps.

My grandparents on both sides of my family are buried in greenwood cemetery. It is a beautiful place for them to be laid to rest. The only problem I had, was that while I was literally crying over the grave of my grandparents, a groundskeeper came and asked us to move our car so that another car could park in our spot because they wanted to also see that row... that wasn’t cool at all. Other than that, it was nice to visit my grandparents.

Joan d'Arc is the patron saint of New Orleans and this statue is near the French Market. The statue was a gift to New Orleans from France. Joan d'Arc's primary weapon was the cannon, and there are two along with the statue.
6. The New Canal Lighthouse
Overall Ratings

The historic New Canal Lighthouse at West End on Lakeshore Drive was severely damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation's reconstruction of the lighthouse is complete. The beacon was re-lit in September 2012. The light shines nightly for all to see. Come experience how the history of a light, a lake and a coast has blended together. Visit Louisiana's only working lighthouse containing a museum that is open to the public. The New Canal Lighthouse Museum is located on the first floor of the rebuilt lighthouse raised up 19 feet above the level of Lake Pontchartrain. This protects the building against storm surges from the lake that may come with hurricanes and tropical storms. The museum can be accessed by two sets of stairs or by an elevator "lift" to accommodate those with special needs. The balcony allows the visitor to get a panoramic view of the New Orleans south shore lakefront. Inside, the museum consists of three display areas, one depicting the history of the light and the region, one presenting LPBF's SAVE OUR LAKE successful campaign, and one presenting the challenges addressed with LPBF's SAVE OUR COAST campaign. The lighthouse tour is led by trained docents who take visitors through the halls to tell how the history story turned into an environmental one, and how everyone can help sustain our region. The second floor of the lighthouse contains office space and houses LPBF's education, outreach and development departments. The cupola of the lighthouse is not open to the public but the light within it is maintained and shines nightly. The New Canal Lighthouse provides more than just a museum offering tours. It has an inviting gift shop, offers educational programs, hosts events and offers a facility to rent. It also has a fountain plaza, breezeway, promenade and outdoor deck.

We absolutely loved our visit at the New Canal Lighthouse. Ethan was a wonderful tour guided and very informative. It was a pleasure to see the tour guide so passionate about his work and it made the tour so enjoyable. We are from the city and this tour gave us new information about the city. If you are in the area, please come and visit the lighthouse. I highly recommend it.
