We did a tour around christmas time and it was really neat if you like that sort of thing. They even had an "actor" in the kitchen acting as the cook who served us little christmas cookies. The tour was cool, but there were lots of stairs, which isnt a concern for me, but some of the elderly in our group really struggled. I do wish they had some sort of pamphlet with the names of the residents and major players of the house. Im really bad with names and so found it hard to follow along with some of the stories. A simple pamphlet with names and descriptions would be really helpful.

We recently took the holiday tour (although the holiday aspect didnt add all that much to the overall experience). The tour staff was knowledgeable and mostly answered all of the various questions our group asked. While the JJ Hill house is much larger and more opulent, one cool thing about this home is that it is over 90% original and only ever occupied by the Ramsey family. I would definitely recommend this tour for those interested in St. Paul history!

Nice. Staff role play as if in the 1800s. Puts a fun twist in to the tour. The James Hill House tour guide spent more time answering questions and seemed to have more time with us between tours. But both were nice.

Youll learn a lot about one of the key contributors to the establishment of Minnesota. The employees do a great job of helping you grasp what life was like in the 1800s for the better half.

I visited Ramsey House with girlfriends last Friday and was dazzled by the beauty and historicity of the place! The nursery still haunts me. Most eager to return!

The only original parts of the house are in the top two rooms. The tour guide didnt allow for pictures.

I love it! It is a great educational place where you can go back in time to see how the Ramseys lived!

Good historic site to visit, with fun camps for the kids. Right across from Forepaughs restaurant.
