Our Take: One of the top 20 things to Deux in New Orleans. Knowledgeable guides explain the founding and creation of the of New Orleans by free people of color. After an explanation of the meaning of  term “creole,” the guides walk visitors through decades of history highlighting the foundational efforts of this group. Every item is the museum was created by or honors free people of color bringing the past into the present. If you love or even like history, this museum shouldn’t be missed.
