unlike more commercial tours, the guide gives you a personal experience and historical perspective. It is the type of tour you could do once a year and still learn something new. More

Since the property stayed in the family until it became a National Historic Landmark, furnishings, decorations, and the history are intact. Docents are excellent and are able to answer even the most obscure questions. The one drawback? Visitors are kept from spending much time in any one room and must be attended at all times.

A house full of history!! Spent an afternoon touring the house, and walking around the gardens. More

Also interesting Underground Railroad aspect. I highly recommend. More

A truly fascinating family and an important part of our nation's history. The women in the gift shop (sorry I forget her name) went out of her... More

He is mostly remembered today for "Seward's Folly" but Sec. of State Seward was the man who was attacked in his sickbed while Lincoln was being assassinated. That's just two aspects of the life of the whole family, nicely shown in this great old house. More
