We've been here twice and both times the house, itself, was closed. However, you can walk the beautiful gardens and grounds and see the different out-building while marveling at the architecture.We stood in the window-wells and took pictures of ourselves to show how tall the windows of the house are. Pretty cool.

I chose this activity because we always seek out castles, plantations and other historical buildings. I really didn't know what to expect. Boy was I surprised!
I believe they said this house is ten thousand square feet. You can see the original home, and then the addition that was quite creatively handled. I didn't anticipate the history at all. You'll...

This is a fabulous home. Reasonable entry fees. The tour guide was knowledgable, however I do question what he referred to tatting as it was crochet. I did the same pattern as a young child. Lots of walking. Not for the elderly or this with difficulties moving from stair case to stair case.

Historian Alert! The former home of Green Clay & Cassious M. Clay is quite a treat! This restored mansion has lots of original Clay pieces and a very knowledgeable guide. Not ADA friendly (lots of stairs) but they provide a Kindle so you can see the upper portions from a comfortable chair!

Beautiful architecture with interesting story of house development and colorful history of the property owner. Kids found the house amazing on how toilets/ plumbing in the early years looked! The tour was a last minute decision but definitely worth a destination trip.

If you love old homes and enjoy history then you will like this! This is about Cassius Clay and his life. Nice and informative tour guide. I wish the tour was longer. That is my only drawback. Seemed rushed. Go do this! Worth it!

We were a few minutes late & they still let our group of 6 join the tour. Our guide was informative & made me want to know more about the Clay family.

This is a beautiful home with some amazing features for the time, like closets and inside bathrooms. They have a lot of period pieces to really give you an idea of what it was like back in the 1860's. You learn a lot about the local history and the views are beautiful.
One thing to be aware there are a...
