A short tour due to fire code (only one set of stairs) you can only tour the main level but its worth it. Beautifully restored, antiques, collectibles and art work make it a true museum house! You'll recognize many items from the movie. The Tour Guide did a great job too. Cute gift shop in carriage house.

I became interested in touring the Mercer Williams house after reading the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Although the book and movie are based loosely on facts I recommend reading the book or viewing the movie prior to your visit. The story is based (again loosely) on the shooting and death of a young Savannah man... More

Only the downstairs of the house is open to visitors which is really a shame since this is a museum of sorts. Mr. Williams was a skilled collector and the items he had were incredible on their own, but they are even nicer in the context of his ability to decorate. The house only gets 4 stars because there is... More

If you base everything you do on the cost, I guess you'll never be happy, but my wife and I have toured the house twice. If you are interested in history and art it's beautiful, Jim Williams was collecting antiques from the age of 14 years old and there are just some of his wonderful collection at the house. The...

I thought this was well worth the entry fee (about $12). The tour starts in the garden which is mostly made from valuable grey bricks that are no longer in production. Alex (our guide) was fantastic - very polished and able to answer all questions. The tour moves through the lower floor of the house showing off the beautiful and... More

If you've seen the movie or read the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" AND you're traveling in Savannah, you must make a point to tour this historic home. If you are interested in antiques, fine art, or historic restorations, you will love this tour - even if you know nothing about Jim Williams. The home is... More

This is the second time my friends and I have visited the Mercer House where the famous murder took place. It is very interesting to hear the recount of the murder and stand in the actual rooms where the drama took place. Don't miss this one.

The house is OK. You enter through the gift shop (old carriage house) and proceed through the garden into the house. You get about 30 minutes to view only the downstairs of the mansion with a guide. The furnishings are the collections of Mr Williams (from the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) and they are varied.... More

The entrance fee is exorbitant given that one visits only the ground floor of the house looking at various objets d'art while the guide explains their interest and provenance. The rooms are nicely furnisjed and furbished of course, but do not bother to pay the ransom if you want to know about the 'alleged' murder that took place there; clearly... More
