Nothing tells a story like a home!

Hermann-Grima House

Explore Our 19th-Century Creole Mansion and Slave Quarters

 

A National Historic Landmark, Hermann-Grima Historic House is one of the best-preserved examples of Federal style architecture in the French Quarter.  The home has one of the few functional open-hearth kitchens in the state, and we offer cooking demonstrations in the kitchen twice a month on Saturdays from November through April.  The house also boasts the only remaining original and intact stable in the French Quarter.

This house and adjacent outbuildings transport visitors back in time to learn about this bustling 19th-century home, its owners, and the enslaved people who lived and worked on the property. The parlors, dining room, bedrooms, and slave quarters are completely furnished with period pieces.
