Thank you for choosing Herman-Grima + Gallier Historic Houses for your School Field Trip, our dialogue with teachers begins long before the field trip! We offer a wide range of tour options, at both Hermann-Grima Historic House and Gallier Historic House, to meet most educational and curricular needs and are always happy to work with teachers directly to design a tailored experience. We work with teachers on an individual basis to craft an experience that will meet the needs of their students. Popular topics include 19th-century lifestyles, local geography, architecture, and Louisiana history. We encourage teachers to take a complimentary tour of the museum before visiting with students. We also welcome home-school groups, college level groups, and adult continued learning groups to join us for a School Field Trip Program.
