It’s a beautiful historic mansion and grounds! Our tour guide was fabulous! Very informative, had humor, and sang ! ( Carol Hill ) I like the history of house, the furnings, and how the rooms were used. I loved the history of the Jameison family.

Very interesting tour. As a native Virginian, I was surprised to learn things I had not studied in grades 1-12 or as a history major at JMU.

The woman who provided the tour was exceptional. She was able to answer every possible question and she was a font of knowledge. I can’t wait to go back and take the tour again. I also think the website is fantastic, the information it offers is well organized, easy to find, and very interesting.
