The home was beautiful and the period furniture was quite interesting to see. It is definitely worth a visit if you are interested in this topic and have 45-50 minutes to spare. I am giving this home/museum 4 instead of 5 stars mostly because of the tour. Out of the three homes that we toured on this day this tour was the shortest and most inconvenient. Tours are given on the hour and end earlier in the day than other similar tours. The schedule was very strict even though we were the only ones to see the house during the time we were there. The guide seemed quite friendly and knowledgeable about the property, but seemed rushed during the tour. If you have the time and meet the schedule this is worth a stop, but other homes would be higher in priority on my to-see list.

What a wonderful experience. So nice to see a house that was actually furnished with some of the original furnishing and apparel. The lady that took us on the tour showed us so many things. To see a mourning pin with actual hair in it and the wreath with real hair also was over the top. Also, this was the 1st time that we saw the slave quarters that had a brick house instead of wood. The house is in immaculate condition. Its a tour that you shouldnt miss. Amazing!
