New Orleans, LA
The Cabildo Louisiana State Museum
Today we went to The Cabildo Museum. The Cabildo is one of a few museums that make up The Louisiana State Museum. These are a selection of historic buildings with Louisiana history in them. The Cabildo has art and history installations and is pretty cool. It's $10 but we were able to use our NARM pass again. Also fun fact, it was were the Louisiana Purchase ceremony took place in the US after the purchase was finalized in France. This was the purchase of a large chunk of land from France.

That's it for today. It was a small museum but had a lot of great info. We will probably hit another one in the group before we leave. If you missed yesterday's post you can see it
