Hi, Thank you so much for your interest in the Cabildo. While the Cabildo does not have a gift shop, the 1850 House Museum does! The 1850 House museum is in the Lower Pontalba building on Jackson Square only steps away from the Cabildo and it does sell books for children. The gift store is operated by the Friends of the Cabildo.
