Wonderful tour with fascinating information. The host Vijay was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of details about the house and the time period/lifestyle of when it was built. I would definitely recommend checking it out!

This evening of lore and history with BJ was an incredible attribution to our vacation. The opportunity to experience this historic home and listen to BJ's stories was truly enjoyable and a memorable experience. I recommend this for those who are intrigued by history and interested in seeing a historic home.

BJ is a friendly and knowledgeable host and made us feel very welcome on the tour. We were able to tour two rooms in the oldest part of the home, learning about the history of the house, the people who lived there, and many of the furnishings and decorations. Seeing the old kitchen and hearing about all the work that was involved in keeping a house running in the 17th century was particularly eye-opening. Well worth the money for the experience and also to help preserve a beautiful historic home.
