Overlooking Jackson Square in the heart of
the Vieux Carre, or Old Quarter of New Orleans
is the Cabildo, erected in 1795. The transfer
of Louisiana from Spain to France and from
France to the United States took place here in
1803. Lafayette resided here in 1825 as a guest
of the city. It now houses the Louisiana Histori-
cal Museum with its interesting and valuable ex-
hibits and library.
