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.

Although there are many historic houses in the Quarter that are worth visiting (including the Gallier House), Hermann-Grima is probably my favorite because the physical space allows a very complete exposure to 19th century life in the French Quarter. You have not only the main house, but a dependency with a working open-hearth kitchen still used for cooking demonstrations and even cooking classes, a courtyard with citrus, and a former carriage house that still has the horse stalls in it dating from 1870. At the time of this review, the current tour is structured around urban slavery and is excellent.

A hidden gem. We just happened on this through Facebook and we’re nearby so we stopped in. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about enslaved people and the history of these families who owned the home.

I visit the Hermann-Grima house every time I come to New Orleans. My tour guide gave us a tour on the enslaved people that worked at the house, which was incredidble. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
