Original Spot Of The Home Of MARIE LAVEAU

The small cottage on Saint Ann Street with the peeling white paint and green shutters occupies the lot where Marie Laveau lived during the nineteenth century. She worked as a hairdresser for wealthy Creole women, a profession that gave her access to the private lives and secrets of the city elite. People came to her doorstep seeking charms, advice, and solutions to their personal troubles. Her front room functioned as a clearinghouse for information that kept the city running on her terms.
