Exploring Hidden New Orleans

Are you an urban exploration enthusiast? Do you want to uncover lesser-known New Orleans treasures while also preserving their historical significance through respectful exploration?

Meet Nathan Norsworthy and Kris Norsworthy, a fearless pair of urban explorers who love to uncover the mysteries of New Orleans' forgotten spaces.

With Nathan's passion for unearthing the stories behind these hidden spots, and Kris' talent for photography, they've managed to document some of the city's most fascinating and lesser-known locations. From abandoned hospitals to eerie cemeteries, these two have seen it all, and they're here to share their adventures with us.

Urban Exploration

Urban exploration, also known as urbex, involves visiting and investigating abandoned structures and locations. Enthusiasts of this practice value the unique insights and emotional connections that come from discovering the untold stories of these places. Abandoned sites can serve as powerful reminders of the past, provide glimpses into history, and offer a sense of adventure and mystery.

I think exploring abandoned places is like going to a museum, just to see it, to walk around, to photograph it. It's really just for fun. - Nathan Norsworthy
