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.

Honestly the best 15 bucks I’ve ever spent ! John was my docent and he was so knowledgeable and friendly! I learned so much about the families that lived there . It is beautifully preserved! Highly recommend taking the tour .

Beautiful house, wonderfully preserved. Has a fascinating history. Our guide, Jacob, has a history degree and clearly loves his subject matter. He made a great tour even greater. Our group of four was thankful to have found this. Will be back next time in town, assuming the tours to the Gallier House have resumed.
