We stayed one night at the Beall Mansion. We loved it so much that we came back for two more nights on the end of our trip. The home is beautiful and relaxing. Jim, with his butler attire, made us feel welcome and right at home. He was very informative about the area and the home. We loved it and... More

The homeowner is a gracious host and very knowledgeable regarding not only the history of the mansion, but of the Victorian era as well. Jim provided a lot of insight into aspects of that period that I was not aware of.

I scheduled a tour for 30 senior citizens. The grounds were lovely with some spring flowers still blooming, the interior was beautifully restored, the furnishings had so much character, and the tour commentary added history and interest. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, and it is worth the visit. We were blessed with a sunny day and perfect temperatures. Allow an... More

Of the many things to do in Alton, IL this is a must. If you like history, architecture, relics from the past, this mansion has it. This house carries a great story and Jim tells it well. Every room is elegantly decorated and makes you feel like you are experiencing the 1900's first hand. 11-1/2 foot ceilings, marble floors, hand-carved... More
