The 16 Best Things to Do in New Orleans (Updated 2025)

"Next to Jackson Square, the 1850 House is a well-preserved example of pre–Civil War townhouses: the Louisiana State Museum has decorated it to represent upper-class life at the time of its construction, and I found it the best place to get an immersive understanding of how affluent white slave owners lived (admission is $5)." - Matthew Kepnes
