New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park Louis Armstrong Park is a 32-acre greenspace that contains both the Municipal Auditorium and the Mahalia Jackson Theatre for the Performing Arts.  Located just across from the French Quarter on N. Rampart St, the park is named for New Orleans’s “favorite son”.  Since the 1800s, the area has played a significant role in Crescent City history.  Congo Square, a flat of inlaid stone located at the southern corner of the park, is famous for the gatherings of African Americans, enslaved and free, that occurred there on Sundays, the only day of the week when they could sing and dance candidly.  The making of music at the Square played a marked role in the development of jazz.  Today, local voodoo practitioners still consider it to be a spiritual site and can be found meeting there for rituals. In the spring of 2008 a few hundred volunteers with the national organization Tourism Cares made an effort to restore the area, including the 12-foot statue of New Orleans’ jazz legend Louis Armstrong standing near the park entrance’s famed lighted archway.  The area is now recognized as the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park.  While visiting the National Historical Park, stay with us!  Located steps from Jackson Square, Bourbon Street, and the French Market, French Quarter Inns welcomes you to our two New Orleans French Quarter Hotel locations!
