Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve
Management
 

The staff, volunteers, and partners of  Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve are dedicated to preserving the natural and cultural resources of Louisiana's Mississippi River Delta region.

First and foremost, those resources and the park itself belong to the American people. Information on how the park manages its resources on behalf of its owners is available at the links above.

Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve is part of the National Park Service within the Department of the Interior. Today there are nearly 400 units in the national park system, each representing some nationally significant aspect of America's natural or cultural heritage.
