Summary

Several years ago I did an episode or two with the Historic New Orleans Collection about the Storyville red light district. They had an excellent small exhibit about Storyville. Well now, there is a whole museum dedicated to Storyville. I’m joined today by the museum’s founder and curator, Claus Sadlier.

Hey, y'all, this is Mark. Welcome to episode 224. Today's episode is all about a newer museum in the French Quarter dedicated to New Orleans' historic and infamous Red Light District, Storyville. The last show was all about a board-based Mardi Gar game. If you missed it, go back and give it a listen. I think you'll enjoy it.

The Old 77 Hotel and Chandlery is in a great location in the warehouse district,

just three blocks from the French Quarter. It's close to lots of great places to eat,

Rooms feature exposed brick and hardwood floors.
