I was very impressed with the quality of the tours. Due to the timing of our arrival, my wife and I participated in parts of two tours by two different tour guides. I thought they both did a great job covering both the family history and some of the social history of the site. The house is also very well preserved and serves as a good example of historic preservation. If I could make one suggestion, It might be a good idea to include a walk over to the reconstructed enslaved dwellings as part of the tour.

That was our second trip to the plantation and we loved both trips. The guide was very informative, took plenty of questions, and it was obvious she loves what she does. It made our trip enjoyable.
Thank you,
We'll be back again.
