What To Expect

Lalaurie Mansion

The Lalaurie Mansion is one of the most notoriously haunted mansions in New Orleans. At three stories high, it was described in 1928 as “the highest building for squares around”, with the result that “from the cupola on the roof one may look out over the Vieux Carré and see the Mississippi in its crescent before Jackson Square”. The owner, Madame LaLaurie, was a New Orleans Creole socialite and serial killer who tortured and murdered slaves in her household.

New Orleans Pharmacy Museum

New Orleans Pharmacy Museum showcases its extensive collection and provides educational programs on the history of pharmacy and health care. This museum has a large collection of apothecary jars containing their original ingredients, old wheelchairs, black leather physicians’ bags, medical instruments, eyeglasses, optical prosthetic devices, and surgical tools all displayed in hand-carved, glass-fronted cabinets.

Old Ursuline Convent Museum

The Ursulines have a long history in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. Arrival of the Ursulines in New Orleans, 1727 (19th century depiction)As early as 1726, King Louis XV of France decided that three Ursuline nuns from Rouen should go to New Orleans to establish a hospital for poor sick people and to provide education for young girls of wealthy families. The Old Ursuline Convent was built in 1745, the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley and once home to the Ursuline Nuns until 1824, as a convent, orphanage and school for girls.

Beauregard-Keyes House

The Beauregard-Keyes House is a historic residence located in the French Quarter. It is currently a museum focusing on some of the past residents of the house, most notably Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard and American author Frances Parkinson Keyes. The property where the house would be built was originally owned by Ursuline nuns, who sold off parcels of their land in 1825.

Our tour guide was Jason. He is a very good story teller, was attentive to our questions, and gave us a very atmospheric tour. It was Halloween Eve and he was wearing amazing costume, that contributed to the ambience. It was awesome.
