Customer Reviews
Nice place. They offer a self-guided tour or guided. They have old cabins, a pond, gift shop, and other cool things to see. The inside of the main house was a little disappointing as it didn't look restored but maybe that's the way the owner(s) wanted it.
Loved the historic interpretation guided tour. So much history tied to the current culture and people of New Orleans as well as the history of USA. Definitely recommend for people to see, explore, observe, and appreciate.
Its an experience I will forget hold in my heart. Its a MUST visit historical ancestry museum, I learnt so much that has never been taught to me. Staff was very nice and patient. Tour is very self explanatory and detailed. I loved the fact that you can listen to the recordings at your own pace and discuss with your companions instead of feeling rushed in a tour with people. If you book through Viator you will get pick up and drop off. If you dont book transportation, better get a car because its very far from the heart of New Orleans.
