Experience the Cabildo

July 13th, 2011 by cindee

When most people think of New Orleans, they think of the food, drink, and music that this city is famous for.  While these things are worth savoring and experiencing, there is so much more to this beautiful city than simply food, drink, and music.  New Orleans is one of the most, if not the most, historically exciting cities in the United States.  This rich history is shown through in the architecture of this amazing city as well as the many museums that New Orleans has to offer.

To see the greatness of the museums that New Orleans has no offer one needs to look no further than the Louisiana State Museum.  This museum’s collection is so large that it cannot be housed in one building alone, but is spread throughout five different locations, all in the beautiful French Quarter of New Orleans.  One of these five locations is the Cabildo.
