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.

Great tour. House is beautiful with several furnished rooms on each floor. Outbuilding containing slave quarters and work areas (kitchen, scullery, laundry) was fascinating. Out guide provided history of the house as well as of the 2 families who lived there, putting it all in context of daily life in Antebellum New Orleans in an upper class household. We spent 6 days in town doing various daily tours and this one was one of our fav's, if not the best. Extremely worthwhile.

One of the best historic house tours I had in a long time. The visit was very insightful and my guide Jacob was very professional. The house itself has a fascinating story. I appreciated the fact that the tour included a bit on enslaved people too.

The employees I interacted with were extremely pleasant and professional. The tour I got was not rushed, and there is plenty to see and learn even if one has been to many other attractions in the city. Worth it if you like history, architecture, local lore, or all of the above.
