Best seen in spring. Not yet swelteringly hot and humid. Kids still in school. Flowers all out. Birds about. It's a great half day out. Prepare to do a bit of walking and get there real early or real late to see the best of the birds.

The details of the home are gorgeous. The mantles, wood trim, wainscoting, staircases etc are beyond amazing. The home is decorated beautifully. They had exquisite taste. Their personal possessions are in the home & add to the ambience. The dining room was decorated for Thanksgiving & just looked beautiful with the furniture & carved chairs. There was a lot they thought of & put in the house for that time period.
