This cultural landscape report provides treatment recommendations for the Chalmette Battlefield and Chalmette National Cemetery Site, an administrative unit of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. The 142.9-acre property (park) represents a portion of the site on which the Battle of New Orleans was fought, serving both to commemorate the battle and to interpret the strategy of this decisive American victory during the War of 1812. The park includes the commemorative battlefield and the adjacent Chalmette National Cemetery, a designed landscape which itself occupies a portion of the former battlefield. The park contains a number of features associated with the Battle of New Orleans, as well as some significant features not connected with the battle, notably the Malus-Beauregard House (c. 1833) and archeological resources related to post-battle land uses.
