What travelers are saying

This elegant Greek Revival mansion must be seen by anyone who appreciates fine antiques, art and architecture plus the history of Alida Harper-Fowlkes.

... and reflects the rarified personality of its former owner - the woman who started the Tea Shop at Savannah's Pink House and went on to amass a history and fortune in antiques, period pieces and architecture.

Expected a bit more...

The information presented about the house, owners and Society of Cincinnati was useful and informative but the manner of presentation was lackluster. Having said that, the architecture and contents were lovely.
