The story
Laid out in 1833 for the old City of Lafayette, this walled Garden District block filled quickly with yellow fever victims and later became a backdrop for Anne Rice's vampire novels. For years ghost guides spun tales among its tombs, but since the 2026 reopening the city allows only historical tours.
