Located behind Ursuline Academy is a small cemetery, burials there are mostly Ursuline Sisters. Ursuline Academy was established in February 1847 by Ursuline Sisters from New Orleans. The Academy was the first all girls parochial school and girls of all faiths attended. The Academy opened in 1854, and closed for a time in 1857 during a yellow fever epidemic. The building was used as a hospital during the Civil War, by the Union and the Confederates. Over 1,000 refugees were housed at the Academy during the 1900 Storm. In 1961, Hurricane Carla damaged the academy and convent and the buildings had to be demolished and new school was built. The cemetery remains and is maintained by the Ursuline Alumnae.
