Historic Faubourg Treme Association

Historic Faubourg Tremé Association was founded in 2006 to support the architecture, culture, and history of Tremé. HFTA is dedicated to preserving the culture of the African-American ancestors who made the Tremé the vibrant community that created the music called Jazz. HFTA envisions a Tremé with thriving commercial corridors along Basin, North Claiborne, Rampart, and St. Bernard Avenue that showcase Tremé's rich live music, visual arts, and performing arts culture.
