Louisiana Landmarks Society/The Pitot House Museum


  • About Us

    Established in 1950, the Louisiana Landmarks Society promotes historic preservation through education, advocacy, and operation of the Pitot House located on Bayou St. John in New Orleans. Landmarks rapidly defined preservation advocacy in New Orleans through campaigns that resulted in the protection of Gallier Hall and defeat of the proposed Riverfront Expressway in the 1960s. Today, the colonial West Indies style Pitot House (c. 1799) serves as a house museum and the headquarters for Louisiana Landmarks Society.
