Our guide at the Stetson Mansions was awesome.

The wood work in the Mansion is incredible. Jo Ann was awesome. A nice family trip if it's raining outside.

Have been to numerous historical mansion tours. This is one of the best!

Wonderful tour guide. Very beautiful mansion. Well maintained. Very surprised that you can tour all areas of the home that the owners still live in. Only suggestion would be to add an elevator for HQ individuals.
