Hermann-Grima House

By Angela Ash

When visiting New Orleans, historic museums and buildings are part of everyone's itinerary.  Neglecting such treasures is like leaving without having beignets. 

While it may be difficult to decide which properties to visit, the fascinating Hermann-Grima should be an obvious choice.  Located right in the French Quarter, this magnificent structure gives visitors a peak into the lives of the people who lived and worked within its walls. 

Built in 1832, this Federal style mansion was occupied by both the Hermann and the Grima families, before being taken over by the Christian Women's Exchange, under whose control it has been painstakingly restored to its former grandeur. 

Tours are offered to the public, and attract historians, travelers interested in architecture, or those of us who want to see the parlor from FX's American Horror Story:  The Coven.
