Amazing. Toured with the director and he was so passionate about the time period. He had assembled much of the collection himself. Very interesting, beautiful house!

This is a great tour of a 19th century house. We had a personal tour of the house and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about any questions we had. Our children also enjoyed it and even though it took about 1 hour, it held their interest as well.

Take the tour -- Enjoy the history --- This tour would be great for anyone that has visited the historical triangle in the last few months; Some of the stories / artifacts would tie in nicely.

B O R I N G I love history. The experience here was a joke. The young lady who escorted us through this house Stumbled and stammered throughout her demonstration of her lack of history knowledge.
