Historic Treme Neighborhood and New Orleans

Neighborhoods

In a city known for its history, music, and personality, no neighborhood overflows with more of these qualities than Tremé. A residential neighborhood filled with a long history of cultivating famous musicians, stirring up Creole cuisine, second-lining through the streets, and burying loved ones in neighborhood cemeteries. Many residents in Tremé still have long-held connections to the neighborhood, living in houses owned or lived in by generations of their families. An easy walk from the French Quarter or Marigny, Tremé is a lens into New Orleans life from the locals who live it.

Sightseeing

The heart of history and culture in Tremé for the last 300 years. Congo Square, now encompassed by Armstrong Park, is where enslaved African Americans would gather, make music, sell goods, and visit on Sundays. Today, Armstrong Park is home to special celebrations of food, music, and culture throughout the year, and is open to enjoy the bridges and green space of the park any day of the week.
