Nothing tells a story like a home! Your support is vital to our mission of preserving two 19th-century French Quarter homes and, through their architecture, collections, and history, inspire discourse about our collective past and its relevance to our present and future. Visitors, students, and researchers explore such diverse topics as the lives of the houses’ owners and enslaved people, free people of color, open-hearth cooking, mourning rituals, and the entrepreneurial pursuits of women.
thank you to all who contributed to the 2023 Historic Houses Society Gala on thursday, november 16, 2023
