Carol was our guide and was so informative and brought history to life as she shared many important details of the things that happened at the house and property. The house is beautiful, very neat items that have been donated back to the house are on display. My husband is a huge history buff and even he was astounded at so much that he had read about happened on this sight. Property was beautiful as well, lovely to walk the grounds. This is not to be missed.
