Our tour guide had been giving tours of this historic house for 28 years so was able to go into detail about the restoration process. So very interesting to learn about the history of the family behind Pabst beer. more

My boyfriend and I love historic homes, so this was right up our alley. That said, however, this tour was just ok. They did not have any guided tours that day (apparently some of their staff did not show up) so we took a self-guided tour. They gave us a brochure and we walked from room to room on our... more

Nice old mansion with well-run hour-long tours. If you like old homes, it is worth a visit to this house. more
