New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park, National Historical Park in French Quarter, New Orleans, United States

New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park is a protected site in the French Quarter dedicated to the history of this music genre. The grounds feature a historic building called Perseverance Hall, where exhibits and performances take place.

New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park was authorized by Congress on October 31, 1994, to celebrate the origins and evolution of jazz. Its centerpiece, Perseverance Hall No. 4, was built between 1819 and 1820 as a Masonic lodge and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 2, 1973. The park itself was administratively added to the Register on the date of its authorization.

The park's visitor center at 916 North Peters Street and its concert venue in the French Quarter host ranger talks and live performances on the origins and early development of jazz. Perseverance Hall No. 4, the site's centerpiece, is a former Masonic lodge built in 1819–1820. The park's central administration occupies premises in the French Market.

The park's leased grounds lie within Louis Armstrong Park in Tremé, while the visitor center stands at 916 North Peters Street and the concert venue sits several blocks away in the French Quarter, so plan to walk between the three. The central administration occupies premises in the French Market.

Perseverance Hall, the park's main building, was originally a Masonic lodge and stands as the oldest such structure in the entire state. Built between 1819 and 1820, it still displays the original architecture of that era.
