The team at both Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve and New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park are busier than ever with several projects across all our park sites. These projects are will have long-term lasting impacts for our natural and cultural resources and greatly improve visitor experience, enjoyment, and engagement with these resources. The projects are supported from several different sources of funding.
