New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park is a unique National Park located in New Orleans that celebrates and preserves the development and progression of jazz, America's most widely recognized indigenous music. The park was dedicated in 1994, and right now only includes a visitor's center in the French Quarter and one preserved building, the 1820s Perseverence Hall, a historically important venue for concerts, dances, banquets, and recitals.
The Hall had not been opened in 2005 when I visited, so all I was able to visit was the visitor's center. This park needs quite a bit more work before it is complete.
