The history of the grounds and the artifacts in the museum are very interesting. For those complaining about masks, we were social distanced in a large room. Its hard to give a presentation and talk loud enough with a mask on. If you're that worried, stay home. The guide was knowledgeable and knew a lot of interesting facts and answered questions. My recommendation is, be respectful of the tour guide and others. If he's talking listen and dont be having a separate conversation during the tour. There were a few disruptive ones in the group that was there when I went, so I missed a lot of his presentation. It was obvious it was upsetting the tour guide. The only recommendation is maybe they should invest in a speaker and headset to project the speakers voice more so everyone can hear.

I think it was the tour guide more than anything else that made this tour what it was. Best tour we have ever had by a mile!

Not entirely sure what I paid for? No signs directing you where to go. Not enough of a history lesson to stay. A Ren Faire was also going on when I went so it was just a very weird experience. Wouldn’t recommend.
