Jean Baptiste Baudreau II Historic Marker Dedication Ceremony

In 1757, Jean Baptiste Baudreau II became the only individual in Louisiana history to be publicly executed via the Medieval torture method of the "breaking wheel," across from New Orleans's Jackson Square. 266 years later, on the site he was executed, a marker will be unveiled offering updated facts surrounding his death and information about his life as the son of a French Canadian and Native American.
