The American Cemetery in Natchitoches, Louisiana

The oldest European cemetery in the Louisiana Purchase is full of history. Founded as a French-Catholic graveyard and then called the American Cemetery after Anglos began to be buried here after 1803, this amazing place epitomizes the uniqueness of Louisiana culture.

I’m a descendent of St Denis, I’ve just started looking into my ancestry. Thanks for the information on him and the town.

Was fortunate enough to stroll through this cemetery while in Natchitoches visiting my daughter while she was attending Northwestern State. This is one of my favorite Louisianan towns. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

My only complaint about this video is that it is not set to fit the screen. Everything looks distorted. Otherwise, very good historical information about my hometown. Thank you.
