10/10 Exceptional! (7 reviews)
The owner, Jethro DeWolfe, met us and showed us all the rooms in this pre-Civil War era mansion and gave us quite a tour and explained much of the home’s restoration, contents and history. Great place.

Great tour with wide variety of information. Surprised how much my husband liked it! Allow several hours. No pictures can be taken on the tour, but you have great visual memories.
