She was very kind to my boys even though they were very curious and wanted to touch everything! I have driven by SO many times and always wanted to stop and check it out and take a tour and I finally got around to it. The grounds are so beautiful and there is so much history. Judy is very knowledgeable and informative. I will definitely be back! And I would recommend this historical tour to anyone who lives here/nearby or passing though/visiting! Thank you Judy."

The house has a beautiful interior and an amazing courtyard. The caretaker name Judy is a wealth of knowledge and very nice. $5.00 is the price for a regular adult and you are given a tour of the inside which contains furniture, tools, utensils, photos, and other historical artifacts of the time. If you are really into local history, then you will love this place. It's one of those places you can immerse yourself back in time at a time when the land was not so cluttered with traffic, roads, and development as we see today. There is plenty of parking and there are public restrooms on site. Give yourself plenty of time to take in all the history this place has to offer."

Hasn't had it since December 2017. 😭 ESPECIALLY as Renee Ann Evers, in my shots here, is the BEST of the REST! I miss her like the deserts miss the rain. Please bring back the Old Fashioned Christmas, Rains House."
