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.

We booked this tour on a whim after walking by and hearing a tour guide talk about it. We were not disappointed. Our friendly tour guide was a history buff and gave us great detailed information about the two families, the time period and the property. I really enjoyed how each room featured original furniture and the decorations changed to feature the various time periods. A must see in my book.

The tour covered the history of the house as experienced by the families who lived there. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time.
