Hanna did a magnificent job of recreating life in the house with her descriptions of the owners and more importantly the enslaved people who lived there. She was able to poignantly convey the reality of the day and was able to evoke the atrocity that slavery was.

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.

While listening to music and having yummy food and cocktails are obvious New Orleans activities, the Hermann-Grima House Urban Enslavement tour should also be a must do for visitors and locals alike. Sure you could go and just tour the beautiful house, but what really makes this historic landmark so special is its understanding and acknowledgement of the impact of slavery for both for Herman-Grima families, the enslaved people themselves, and the city of New Orleans.

The fee was well worth the tour we received. The tour guide was amazing. You can tell how much she loves the history of the house and the families and slaves that lived here. She made you well so welcomed. Thank you for all the details of the history and showing us the many rooms from the yard, alaves quarters and the house.

One of the most informative and brilliantly conducted tours I have experienced anywhere. Katy a really superb guide, with relevant knowledge across political, social history and extremely insightful about slavery and the urban household. Unmissable.
