Places
Places This Tour Covers
Museum
New Orleans Pharmacy Museum
Louis Dufilho Jr., whom the museum calls America's first licensed pharmacist, had this shop built in 1822 and 1823. The stories make its ghost Dr. James Dupas, whose family bought it in 1855: a short man in a brown suit who throws books.
Church
St. Louis Cathedral
The priest Père Antoine wrote that fire engulfed the church before this cathedral "in less than half an hour" on March 21, 1788. Guides tell of his ghost humming hymns in the alley that carries his name.
