You will have a 30-minute tour of the Gallier house “dressed” in mourning and will then have a 30-minute presentation about the burial customs of New Orleans with Save Our Cemeteries Tour Guide, Jeanne Wilson. The groups will then switch to maintain social distancing. Afterward, guests are invited to enjoy a glass of wine in a souvenir cup in the courtyard.  Masks are required.
