Worth the drive and money! Excellent history experience. It will be even better when the restoration work is done and the entire home is open for tours. The staff are amazing!!

I know the history surrounding General Washington and I knew what to expect when I purchased the tickets. I was very disappointed when we were told that most of the mansion is closed to visitors and even more disappointed when I found out that the key to the Bastille, one of the most emblematic artifact of the estate, and one that I wanted to see, is located in a closed section and therefore, is hidden to visitors. These important pieces of information should be disclosed in advance of purchase.
