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 loved the tour and it's a must see. You will learn so much about the oldest house in the French Quarter and also see the only horse stables that still exist in this part of the city.

This tour was so informative and interesting. Not too long, not too short. Dawn and Katie (guides) were very knowledgeable and pleasant. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

This was a terrific tour thehjouse was much more interesting than you might expect and well maintained. The guide, Lynnette, was well informed and did a great job describing the history of the city and the inhabitants. Also she did a good job of describing the enslaved people who were forced to live there (just a suggestion - would it be possible to identify the names of enslaved people - even just one or two - rather than referring to then collectively to help visitors personalize the experience of their lives more? Assume there are records…) the history of the home as a boardinghouse and small details like the stables and the kitchens really added a lot. The gift store is lovely and full of unique finds made primarily ( or only) by local and women artisans. So glad we stopped by.
