An amazing home mostly restored and the quality and quantity of period furniture, linens, dishes, toys, dolls and so on was simply incredible. A must see! We were greeted at the back door, given a brief history of the two primary owners. The host checked on us multiple times to answer any questions. It was great to see all three floors and the tower all open to be viewed! A great spot to see a historical mansion! I would have preferred a fully guided tour but it was quite spectacular.
Visited during the Victorian Christmas Open House. What a beautiful home! Decorations were lovely and great attention to detail. The volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of exhibit information also provided via scan codes, and printed/posted details providing educational opportunities. Looking forward to visiting again.
Beautiful house. Brief history of the 2 families. It was decked out for Christmas tastefully done. I wish there was a print book/pamphlet of the families with some of the diary entries. And other info like how many rooms. This is self guided and every room must be scanned.
