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.

The Herman Grima house is worth a visit for a history lesson about how New Orleanians lived back in the day. I

A very interesting experience, proving that there is more to do and see in the French Quarter than carouse from bar to bar. The price of admission is low and the value of the experience is high.

The house and grounds have been impeccably restored and the tour takes you through history from its origins to time as a boarding house. Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable and indulged our many questions about the era. There were lots of unique facets to the architecture, fashions and storyline of the families who lived there that we enjoyed very much. Thank you, Hermann-Grima House, for this peek into a time capsule of 19th century New Orleans.
