This is a virtual cache, taking you on a tour of one of New Orleans famous above ground cemeteries. The Greenwood cemetery was built in the early 1800’s on land reclaimed from the swamp. The land was originally a long way from the town on New Orleans down a shell road. With the growth of population, houses soon surrounded it. Now you can park in the cemetery and walk around the old graves. I placed the difficulty at a 2 because you will have to look around to find the graves you need.
