Drove 2 and a half hours to this place only to find that the final tour of the day which was limited to 15 people already had 14 in it. There were 2 of us and they would not make an exception. The young woman at the front was quite rude. A similar thing happened to me here a few years ago. The history may be wonderful here but I dont plan to try this again. They can kiss my ass! I rarely give only 1 star. If you go here I hope you get in and enjoy it but consider yourself warned.

Great house tour and only tour in the country for a First Lady. The house is very nice inside with lots of time period pieces. Only a few pieces are original to the Todd family or the Lincoln family. It was interesting to see what the rooms looked like originally before restoration. However, I felt like there was so much more that could be done or said about Mary. The tour just seemed to gloss over her life.

Get there early for your tour to reserve a spot. On our day we were the last four in that hours tour and glad to have it work out. The tour was well done, professional, fun, friendly and informative. The house itself is a good spot to begin a visit in that it gives the real feel of how things were in Lexington. Totally recommend it.

Small but worth a visit if you are in the area. Some of the stuff are reproductions or pieces appropriate to the period, not really what was there. This was disappointing to me. However, it was interesting regardless and neat to walk stairs using the same banister as Abraham Lincoln

Have visited twice now and intend to return. This is a very worthwhile tour with a very knowledgeable docent who tells a moving narrative of the challenges and sorrows of Mary Todd Lincoln. Everyone should be aware of this most significant chapter in our national history.

If you have never been here, you need to go especially with out of town visitors. It is a little pricey but the young lady that gave the tour was excellent. You will learn a lot.

I loved it! I found out many different events that took place I was unaware of before I visited Mary Todds house. This is a must see for anybody who stops in Lexington.

The tour guides were friendly but the place was a little small and decorated to the period instead of being original, so a lot of the history of the pieces is unknown.

An very informative tour guide which showed us around the house for about an hour. I would recommend this place for people who enjpy mid 1800 history.

Historic home of Mary Todd Lincoln. Knowledgeable tour guide. Elegant mansion built at a time when indoor plumbing was a luxury.

This home has a very interesting history during the Civil War. I hope to tour the inside soon.

I thought it was interesting addition to the historical accounts we learn in school.
