Attended for the Dauphin County Wine & Jazz Fest and was quite impressed at how well organized the event was. The grounds were impeccable and people were awesome. Definitely a place to visit!

Beautiful! Porch like swings situated to overlook the water. Only four stars because one swing view is blocked by trees. Otherwise, serene at sunset.

Great historic place! House is beautiful, the trail that goes along the river offers a shade on a hot day. The small parks good for littler kids.
