The Louisiana Historical Association dedicated its Memorial Hall facility to Jackson on January 8, 1891, the 76th anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans.{{sfnp|Urquhart|1959|p=12}} The Federal government established a national historical park in 1907 to preserve the Chalmette Battlefield, which also includes the [[Chalmette National Cemetery]]. It features the 100-foot-tall Chalmette Monument and is part of the [[Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve]]. The monument was supposed to be at least 150 feet tall but the very soft and wet soil limited it to 100 feet.{{sfnp|HMDb, ''Chalmette Monument Marker''|2016}} A five-cent stamp in 1965 commemorated the sesquicentennial of the Battle of New Orleans and 150 years of peace with Britain. The bicentennial was celebrated in 2015 with a [[Non-denominated postage|Forever stamp]] depicting United States troops firing on British soldiers along Line Jackson.

Prior to the twentieth century the British government commonly commissioned and paid for statues of fallen generals and admirals during battles to be placed inside [[St Paul's Cathedral]] in [[London]] as a memorial to their sacrifices. Major Generals Pakenham and Gibbs were both memorialized in a statue at St Paul's that was sculpted by Sir [[Richard Westmacott]].{{sfnp|Imperial War Museums, ''Major General The Hon Sir E Pakenham and Major General S Gibbs''|2021}}
