Part of the Louisiana State Museum, the 1850 House is an antebellum row house furnished and decorated to represent the typical life of a middle-class New Orleans family during the mid-19th century. A number of antiques can be found in the house, including a set of John Slidell’s china, antique porcelain from Paris, and a variety of authentic New Orleans paintings.

There is a small admission fee to enter the museum, but discounts are offered for groups of more than 15 people. Admission is free for visitors who take a walking tour of the French Quarter.
