We did a self-guided tour of the property. I opted to follow the prompts from their website. Although I got turned around at times, I enjoyed the narration and appreciated the opportunity to explore the property this way. The property is being preserved "as is," so it is old. It's a large estate, and there is a lot to see and learn. It was difficult to appreciate, but I'm glad I did the tour. I'm sure I will be unpacking the experience for days to come.

One of my favorite House tours. The grounds and variety of areas included in the self guided tour was very extensive. Every aspect of life in a southern home of wealth is exhibited. Only a small part of the house is restored. Most is shown in a state of deteriation as it was received. One can still appreciate how grand and beautiful the architecture is as well as viewing some lovely art.

Very significant historical residential mansion with carriage house and slave quarters. The self tour is so informative with the building and owner slave names and history. Definitely a must see if visiting Charleston

Great tour. Take headphones for your phone and use the Historic Charleston app for self guided tour. House has been preserved not restored. Very interesting. Great stories of the people who were slaves here.

Wonderful preserved mansion with appropriate attention paid to the enslaved people who worked so hard, and sometimes paid with their lives to make the place incredible. The audio tour was wonderful. Bring earbuds and download the app before you come.
