| Oakland Cemetery is located in downtown Shreveport, and is located right next door to the Municipal Auditorium. Shreveport's oldest cemetery, and houses many people that were important in the development of Shreveport. The cemetery also has a large spot that appears vacant, but looks can be deceiving. This spot is called the "cotton patch," and is a mass grave for yellow fever epidemic victims. The cemetery opened in 1845 and is said to be the home of at least 16 mayors. Other well known people are Mr. Logan of the Logan Mansion, Mr. Rendall of the Rendall Building, and Shreveport madam Annie McCune.
