Reviews
"Beautiful house with an interesting history. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and told the stories that took place there with a lot of interest and heart. Definitely worth the $10. Want to go to a concert there when I can."
"We visited to see the Haitian painting exhibit. It was a small bit powerful installation on half of the main floor of the house and in one of the rooms off the courtyard. The grounds were also lovely."
"We had a great tour guide (I wish I could remember her name) and a small tour group, which really made the experience much better. The house and its history was fascinating, I highly recommend it. I saw reviews comparing it to the other old houses in NOLA, but honestly $10 for an entire hour was more than worth it. If you don't like history or architecture then don't go, if you do it's a must!"
"Truly an interesting experience, offering a glimpse into how the wealthy used to live in New Orleans. For the ticket price you get a tour of the house, the tour guide was really amazing. She had all sorts of interesting facts and seemed really passionate about everything. Most people don’t visit these types of places while in NOLA but it’s really worth it!"
"The BK Historic House and Gardens is a National Historic Landmark built in 1826 and restored to its present condition by renowned author Frances Parkinson Keyes beginning in 1948. It is an example of a raised Creole cottage and is lovingly cared for by the Keyes Foundation. Reasonable admission price, the tours start every hour on the hour. You are not allowed inside to wait more than 10-15 minutes before the tour begins, so be aware of that during the hot summer months. This is well worth the stop if you are in the area. It is located in the French Quarter, but off the beaten path."
