Fantastic and unique look at the past through the layers of history that one property has accumulated through the years. Self guided audio tour was great and the tour of the enslaved quarters was unlike any other historic home or plantation I've seen so far.

Great to see a property preserved in its original state. Really gives you a feeling how difficult it is to maintain such a property as well as authentic insight into what a "functioning" place like this looked like - including the living quarters for enslaved people working on the property and stables.

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.

The audio tour was excellent. I loved that they still had the outbuildings. I also appreciated that the house was preserved, n it restored. It provided a nice contrast to the other houses we saw which were restored.
