National Register of Historic Places listings in Orleans Parish, Louisiana

Hi there! Do you know what a museum is? It's a place where people keep things that are very old or very special so that everyone can see them.

Well, the national register of historic places listings in Orleans Parish, Louisiana is kind of like a big museum, but instead of being just one building, it's a list of all the buildings, landmarks, and other places in a special area called "Orleans Parish" that are really old and special.

These places might be old houses, like the ones your grandma and grandpa might have lived in when they were your age, but they might also be really important buildings, like churches or schools that helped change the way people live, work, and worship in that area.

Being on this list is like getting a gold star - it means that the place is super special and important, and people want to make sure it's protected and preserved for everyone to enjoy.
