Hello, i did enjoy the tour of the rooms in the ground floor. The guide is very knowledgeable and pleasant. I came away from the one hour tour with more questions and not enough time. Our guide certainly has more she can relay.
May I suggest occasional tours for those who are returning for more in depth tours? A different take on the plantation?
Attic tour. Kitchen tour. Stories of the occupants in various time periods. A child’s perspective. Mechanicals tour (heating, cooling, water supply through the ages.)
Maybe an option for those with an annual pass?
Thank you
my contact 804-980-5424 if any such tours become available

The history was very interesting and the house was fun to see. We just wished more of the house was available to tour.
