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.

Phenomenal tour. Really centered the slave experience and not the slaveholders. There are not enough tours like this. I learned so much. It was about an hour long.

Great property to tour and yes, the tour obviously has a certain focus/bias against the families that happened to live in different times, but it wasn't over the top even for a Southern sympathizer like myself. I learned some things and appreciated what they had to share even knowing there's a lot more to this story and the overarching theme. Go into everything with an open mind, ask questions, do your research and make time for things that move you. History is alive for everyone and it's not a one stop shop. The tour only took an hour or so, so the only drawback may be if someone can't handle the weather but you're not walking around much and only going up one flight of stairs and you don't even have to do that. The gift shop has some things and this was a perfect stop for us after taking in the Jazz Mass at Our Lady of Guadelupe down the street. We then went a few feet to Napoleon's House to have some good food and drink.
