Lutheran Cemetery  +  1735 Eddie Robinson Sr Drive  +  Baton Rouge, LA 70802

I found little information regarding the history of Lutheran Cemetery. One article listed it as the oldest African American cemetery in the city.

The older graves are in various stages of decay, they tilt, twist, or fall apart all together. They disrupt the rhythm of the mausoleums and add an extra layer of character to mark their plots.
