She answered every question and explained things in such a poetic way. My partner and I had an amazing time visiting and can’t wait to visit again when Sarah’s garden is in full bloom. The tour was free which was a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend seeing the mansion to anyone visiting the area."

I also learned different information culturally about Christmas decorations and why the Teddy bear was called Teddy bear. It felt warm and nice. Usually mansions feel stuffy and museum like but this was not the case! They took good care of it and I really loved being there! The people that worked there went above and beyond with the tours and information!"
