Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve
Directions
 

The six sites of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve are scattered through south Louisiana, from the bayous to the prairies. See the park site map for the big picture or click on a specific site below for a map of that location. For further assistance, call sites for specific directions.

 

 
Vultures arrive on land.  

Did You Know?
Vultures do not have many predators. But if an enemy does approach, the vulture will face its enemy and projectile vomit. This cool bird also has a unique way to stay cool: it will urinate on its legs. The urine also helps kill any germs picked up while treading through a carcass.
