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.

The home is beautiful and the staff are very informative and helpful. Upon arrival one must knock on the door to be let in as it is locked at all times. I highly recommend taking an uber rather than walking.

Friendly staff to check in and give you the family basics and answer any questions. Beautiful home and interesting to learn a little bit about the family and other historic events of the time. We were in the home about an hour.
