• Hermann-Grima House - 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.

This refurbished dwelling in the French Quarter, constructed in 1831, features a Federalist architectural front, an original functional open-hearth kitchen, city slave quarters, and a large courtyard. The Hermann-Grima House’s Urban Enslavement Tour examines the lives of those who were enslaved in a city environment, compares their experiences to those enslaved in rural areas, and highlights the impact of the African diaspora on the shaping of New Orleans. Condé Nast Traveler named it amongst the top tours in New Orleans and the only museum tour on the list. We hold the belief that a home unravels a story like nothing else. Moreover, the historical 19th-century coach house is host to The Exchange Shop, a venerable women-led non-profit initially formed in 1881 by The Woman’s Exchange and amongst the oldest of its kind in the South.
