Hermann-Grima Historic House Guided Tour Ticket

Overview

This restored French Quarter home built in 1831, includes a Federalist architectural façade, original operating open-hearth kitchen, urban slave quarters, and expansive courtyard. The Urban Enslavement Tour at Hermann-Grima House, looks at the experiences of those who were enslaved in an urban setting, how that differed from those enslaved in rural settings, and how the contributions of people of African descent have shaped New Orleans. Condé Nast Traveler voted it one of the best tours in New Orleans and the only tour listed from a museum. We believe that nothing tells a story like a home. In addition, the property’s 19th-century carriage house is home to the The Exchange Shop, originally founded in the 1881 by The Woman’s Exchange and one of the oldest women-led non-profits in the South.

I learned and saw a lot that educated me about urban life and enslavement in the first half of the 19th century. Also interesting to see people cooking in the open hearth kitchen.

Great tour focusing on an overlooked area of enslaved people’s history. Tour takes about an hour and is centrally located in the French Quarter. Fun gift shop featuring handmade and locally made products.

Leah was the guide and she was wonderful giving context, filling in the details and knowing all the nerdy things. She brought the buildings, families and the enslaved to live. Highly recommended!
