I was extremely disappointed. I called about tour weeks ago and was told that it was all self touring. Upon arrival i learned otherwise. That tours are at 11 and 2. I had 7 seniors 80+ years old and even when the tour was done at 11, they refused to accommodate us knowing we spent 1.5 hours coming here. The lady actually said "i hope you weren't planning for me to take you on the 2:00 tour." Instead of apologizing. Mind you, 10.00 each, you're better off watching a Youtube video. I would not return, tell anyone to come here. And frankly, it's an injustice to such an important piece of history.

I would not suggest this historic site. My tour guide had no idea what she was talking about and provided a revisionist form of American history. I'm not sure if she was a slavery apologist and gets a high off of distorting history or just incompetent and confused at telling the factual history but she claimed the underground railroad was a sensationalized myth, no one used the term until long after the Civil War, there weren't any hiding spaces in homes, white people were largely uninvolved in the movement, and a series of other falsehoods. Even when I asked what she meant by her statements she doubled down and maintained her stance. Others on the tour said if I would have talked out, they would have followed. A woman cried after the tour because she said she's never heard anyone deny the underground railroad existed before. I visit plenty of historic sites but this was most disappointing and I just couldn't bring myself to return to this site with my family as part of their New England Road Trip.

Amazing history shared about an early Vermont family and interest in abolitionist idealogy.
