Tour proceeds and store proceeds benefit the Friends of the Cabildo, which is a non-profit volunteer group organized in 1956 to provide support for the Louisiana State Museum. There are six museums in the New Orleans French Quarter that are operated by the Louisiana State Museum System. The Cabildo traces the history of the city, while the Presbytere, Mardi Gras Museum and the Arsenal display exhibits of local interest. The 1850 House shows life as it was in mid-1800 New Orleans and The Old Mint presents two of New Orleans most unique institutions, Mardi Gras and jazz. The "Madam John's Legacy," a French Colonial home, focuses on folkart. All proceeds from our tours and other fund raising activities aid in the support of these historic sites.
