New Orleans, LA 70112
The Execution of Jean Baptiste Baudrau II historical marker commemorates the life and tragic fate of Baudrau, a prominent figure in early Louisiana history. Born in 1717 on Dauphin Island, he served as a peace ambassador and was well-respected among both colonists and Native tribes, ultimately facing a miscarriage of justice that led to his execution in 1757.
Erected in 2022 by the Vancleave Live Oak Choctaw Tribe, the marker is located in the French Quarter of New Orleans, near Jackson Square. It serves as a reminder of Baudrau's legacy and the complex history of colonial Louisiana, honoring the thousands of descendants who continue to remember him today.
