The docents were great but the house was totally bland and uninspired. No Georgia folk art, just antiques from other states, portraits of people not from Georgia. Only the main floor of about 5 rooms was on tour and the ballroom (big empty nondescript) downstairs. The kemps do not entertain like all the previous governors did. The house has zilch personality and empty white walls--much like kemp. Absolutely tragic loss of opportunity to showcase Georgia artists, folk art, woodworking, pottery, fine arts, music, etc. Georgia is a state rich in diverse culture, arts and music--you'd never know it from kemp's house. It is more reflective of Georgia's dark oppressive history. Not worth the visit. Really wish Stacey Abrams had won. She'd have made that house come alive again and made Georgia a welcome home to all who reside here.

Staff are definitely part of the entertainment. Beautiful grounds and history. Check hours are they are limited to certain days and hours. Bring your ID as security requests on the way in.
