Such a great historic house & garden tour! Beautiful restored walls & period furniture, cool archaeological dig in the former kitchen area. Highly recommend! We loved our docent tour.

Very cool historic house. I really enjoyed the self guided audio tour, after the main blurb about the spot you’re in, you could choose to listen to a bunch of extras or not! I like having the choice. Crazy to me that the doors were painted to look exactly like mahogany, but are just regular wood even though the family had enough money for the real thing 🤣 Lots of interesting facts about this place and all the workers were very sweet.

This was my first tour of this kind. The gardens are beautiful. The restoration is nicely done, and we admired the carpentry and details. A round room with rounded doors is certainly something to appreciate. The staircase is a thing of art as well. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very patient in answering our questions and giving us time to view each space. Honestly, it was a tough experience, but I'm glad we visited.

Solid guided tour in a very interesting house. The architecture is beautiful, and the history very strong. You don't see that much, but the little you see is worth it.

We took the fantastic self guided audio tour of the mansion. It was great. It presents a lot of detail about the home’s architecture and furnishings, and also about the family and lifestyle of those that lived there. The home is expertly restored and much of the tour describes the fascinating process and principles of restoring historic homes like this. I really enjoyed my visit and would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to learn more about the lives of the well-to-do in early Charleston.
