Reviews
It was a bit challenging to locate the venue, but the place was stunning. The young woman who conducted the tour was knowledgeable and conducted herself in a professional manner.
I booked this tour while exploring the nearby caves and found it quite intriguing. Our guide, just my husband and I, was both knowledgeable and engaging. Most of the house's furnishings are original.
The mansion has been beautifully restored and is set on lovely grounds. We explored this post-Civil War era home and learned about the “House Divided”. The family actively contributed items that highlight life in the mid to late 1800s. It's a true treasure for anyone who appreciates history, architecture, and antiques.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and felt like we were transported back in time. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided answers to all our inquiries.
This home is stunning and rich in history. We were truly impressed by the original furniture and other details preserved in the house. If you find yourself in Bowling Green, KY, visiting this home is essential.
