BK Historic House and Gardens

Our daughter's only ask for her 16th birthday was to come to New Orleans and go to the BK house and the convent across the street from it. We drove 3 hours to get here. We even planned our leave time around their tour times. The BK house was closed for a "private event" all day for two days solid without any notice posted anywhere on their website. We have already seen the Hermann-Grima and Gallier houses and had no interest in seeing them again. It completely ruined what was supposed to be her Sweet 16. It should be illegal to privately book out historical sites. It's certainly unethical to use money to hoard a building of public, local, and historical significance. It's even more unethical for them not to post prior notice for tourists and visitors, who are counting on it as part of their New Orleans experience during their limited time stays.
