Nice Visitor Center and signage to really picture the Battle of New Orleans. We picked up a pamphlet about an audio tour at the adjacent National Cemetery and it was very interesting. We spent 3 hours total.

Location on here is incorrect. This pin is at Sidney Torres Park. Chalmette battlefield is labeled about a mile south - this is the correct location.

If you are visiting town, don't drive all the way out to see this. There really isn't much to do in chalmette. Instead, take the riverboat cruise from downtown (the French quarter). I believe tours leave at 9am and 1pm.
