Preservation Hall is in the French Quarter. Originally built in 1750 as a private home, it has at one time or another served as a tavern, an inn, a photo studio, and an art gallery. The hall was created in 1961 to protect and honor New Orleans jazz, which at the time had lost much of its popularity to modern jazz and rock and roll. Today the hall is still going strong. On any given night, it's filled to capacity. Preservation Hall opens at 8 p.m. every day, and music begins at 8:15 p.m. Admission is $12 per person; all ages are welcome.
