One of the most beautiful, charming and interesting houses I have ever seen. A wonderful place to take the family. They have a blacksmith to show you how they made things back in the day, people sitting out on the front porch spinning yarn and making brooms from hay, by hand of course. And sometimes they have people dressed really fancy like they use to, just strutting around the house. I love it. I plan on volunteering there soon so I can walk about the house like I really did live in that time (and hopefully using that hoop skirt I bought that my mom said Id never wear).

A beautifully restored 1840s house showing how the super rich lived during the last half of the 1800s. Beautiful antique furniture, china, and other house furnishings, Great historical descriptions of life prior, during, and after the civil war in a part of the south which did not actually have any battles. No demonstrators, or even the facility to have them, at this time.

My husband wanted to tour the house on his birthday and after entering we watched a quick video. Then Sharon took us on a facinating tour. She is so very knowledgeable and passionate about the house it was contagious!!!
