Gorgeous Historic Property in a Lovely Park. Call in advance, we drove quite the distance to see this place and it was closed at 2PM on a Saturday for a private party. Very disappointed but the house itself and grounds are beautiful.

Good price for a 15 minute tour. The lady at the desk was nice and took us on a tour. The history is nice and on a sunny day it's a great place to go.

Very knowledgeable tour guide, but you have the option of self guided experience. Make sure to check out the attic!

Very worth your $5! It was interesting to learn about the families who lived there through the self guided tour book. The house is really lovely, however, it is a little tacked up with posters on the walls in some rooms advertising current performances, that aren't at the house. I don't know what that's all about, but it ruins the ambiance, imo. There are a lot of interesting pieces throughout the house though, furnishings and decor. There is, unfortunately, a small bug infestation upstairs in a bedroom. Hopefully they get that taken care of. I still give 5 stars though, because I think they are working with a small budget. Please go visit so they have more funds to work with. And they really need to update Google and their website with where to park if you aren't handicapped. There is handicap parking and a ramp in back. And there is an album of pictures you can look at of the upstairs. But you will only be able to access the first floor.

My husband and I visited the house which is under construction. The website posted their hours. I am handicapped and being unfamiliar with the area, we parked at the bottom of the hill and climbed several sets of stairs to the top. Upon reaching the door, there was a hand made sign stating they were closed due to illness. We walked around outside looking at the construction and the trees then made our way down the several flights of stairs. Wish they had posted a sign down below so we didn't have to climb the stairs.
In response to the answer from my review... It was our FIRST time there, we had no idea WHERE the parking was for the house. We definitely WILL park in your lot the next time we arrive. I also understand that employees get sick, my comment was about sign placement for those wanting to visit.
