Step back in time...

Our guides were so friendly and informative. The items contained in the house are very nice and give you a good feel for what living there was like. I had not visited in about 25 years, and the improvements to the basement area are nice.

Interesting Civil War era mansion

This antebellum mansion has a nice little museum in the basement. Knowledgable docents give tours on the floors above, too. The museum benefited from furnishings used as props when the building was used a set for the PBS series "Mercy Street". I haven't visited since...More

As some have already stated, this home seems to be closed permanently. However, when it was "open," each time I tried to see the mansion it was closed. From the outside it was obvious that there was little or no money going into upkeep that...More
