It was nice seeing a house from that era so well kept and most of the items original. Was a great tour. Lived in the area all my life and finally made it to a tour.

We toured the Meux Mansion museum as they opened following the covid pandemic. Dr. Thomas Meux built this 16 room victorian mansion in 1884, and he and his family moved in on December 1885. The tour is about 1 hour long. Our guide, Quinten, was fantastic!! Giving us the history of the house and family, and descriptions of life in that time period, the tour was so interesting!!! Plus the home is furnished with a lot of original pieces, renovated with period-correct reproductions, and when needed period pieces from other buildings. As a long time resident of Fresno, this is another activity our city should be proud of, and visitors should check out!!

A dear drag queen had passed away, so all of her friends gathered to sing in her honor and collect money for charity.
The food was excellent and concierge cordial and friendly

An excellently preserved Victorian home from the late 1800s. Filled with the original furniture and artifacts. The tour guides are a wealth of information. A look at life in 19th Centruy Fresno

My daughter loved it. So did I, for that matter. The volunteer staff were friendly. The tour guide (is that the term?) was knowledgeable and provided detailed responses to my daughter's many questions. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable.

I attended a open house during the Christmas season, the old Victorian home is beautifully maintained. The tour guide gave a very accurate account of life when the house was new. The Christmas decorations were beautiful

How I wish I had been able to take photos to show those who were not able to come along, yet it was so freeing to just absorb the beauty of the home without responsibility. The docents were friendly and knowledgeable. I have a tendency to ask a lot of questions and the docent let that control the direction of the tour rather than needing to be in control. (I know there are times when that isn’t possible.) I came away feeling like I was a friend of the Meux family.
