Battle of New Orleans Monument at Chalmette photo by Peter Connolly
The United States Daughters of 1812 led the efforts to complete the monument. Land for the monument was purchased in 1852, but decades of funding and construction problems followed, and the monument was not completed until 1908. Maintenance was turned over to the Chalmette Chapter, United States Daughter of 1812, and in 1939 the monument and surrounding land became part of the National Park Service as Chalmette National Historical Park, the first site of what would later become Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. The 100-foot-tall obelisk has become a major landmark in St. Bernard Parish.
