My experience was mixed. I found the characters wonderful and engaging, particularly Armistead. (I was disappointed, however, that there was no Lafayette.) The house tours were interesting but incomplete and not really worth the cost. I loved the art museum and the show in the Heritage auditorium about Washington's conundrum regarding GB. My biggest complaint, however, is the number of Inns and restaurants that were closed, as well as half the homes shutting early or never opening for viewing. We had to leave the grounds to find a place to eat. We even had difficulty finding coffee in the morning, as there only one place available, but the host was unable to make coffee until much later since all the workers had called out sick. I did find some workers a bit brusque, but most were wonderful, answering all my questions. And I really liked parking my car at the visitor center to use the trolley to get around. I would definitely go back since the Revolutionary war is my passion, but I would try to get more information before I go regarding what will be open for viewing and what Inns will be open for dinner. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and I learned a lot.
