This museum could be so much more than it is. The house is beautiful, and worth seeing! The stories and history behind it are wonderful. We paid extra for the tour with a guide, and that's where it really fell flat (although it could have just been our guide). While the tour of the first floor had some interesting tidbits about the design and function of the rooms, the second floor has little to no furniture in it, and instead is full of art and posters (which is not what we went to see). Our guide spent way too much time talking about each poster and artist while we would have preferred to hear more about the house. The things he did say about the house that were interesting were all printed on small sign stands, so save the extra money and give yourself the tour!

What a little gem! If you enjoy the American Gilded Age art and architecture, you will adore this wonderful restored mansion house. With exhibits that change throughout the year, there is always something fabulous to see. The restoration is magnificent. The guides are professional and knowledgeable. Stay as long as you like. Gift shop is really fun as well, with little treasures and a sizable book selection that focuses on the Gilded Age.

Fascinating architecture, dense detail, history living in front of your eyes. Loved this museum. We found it by accident filling out activities for our last day in town. To think we might have missed this!!

Beautiful house. Self guided tour had plenty of information, and a lot to look at. Guides were happy to answer questions.

Very cool museum. Took us only 20 minutes to get through the entire house. Absolutely beautiful on the inside and the guides were very friendly
