I did the self guided tour, but there was a detailed intro by one of the staff to kick off the tour. The home is in great shape, has tons of period furniture and items to check out. The home is taken care of by a group who clearly are passionate about what they do. The caretakers are excited to share their knowledge and continue to restore the house for future generations to enjoy. One really cool part was the false door in the main floor area as you walk into the buildings main entrance. It exists only for symmetry of design and doesn’t actually go anywhere , but It has the signatures of many of the original builders on it from 1871!

One of 6 mansions left. The guide is excellent, and wish she just came with us. She did give us a peek of the basement! Our bonus for being the only people on the tour.

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The house has been renovated very well. The self-guided tour has lots of excellent information. The period pieces include some that are original to the home and have been donated by descendants of the former owners. Instead of traditional “Do not touch” signs, the house has signs that say something like, “Everyone who ever touched this lovely piece is now dead. Play it safe and keep your fingers to yourself.” Clever way to get the message across.
