Some of Louisiana's historic cemeteries are hiding in plain sight. Can you help us find them?

Tucked behind overgrown fields, beneath towering trees, or on land that has changed hands over generations, some of the state's historic burial grounds are difficult to locate—and their stories risk being forgotten.

The Louisiana Register of Historic Cemeteries is working to document these places, but we need your help.

Do you know of an old family cemetery, an abandoned burial ground, or a historic cemetery in your community that may not be documented? Your knowledge could help preserve an important piece of Louisiana's history.

🔎 Explore the Register's cemetery map and lost cemeteries list to see where help is needed and learn how to make a nomination.
