What visitors say
The employees are very friendly and knowledgeable. I went with my daughter for her field trip and we had a great time and learned a lot. The grounds were very well maintained and the home was beautiful inside and out.
Great gem in Monroe. The garden is truly superb, well kept and a pleasure to be in. The Coke museum is full of nostalgia and what's better than buying Coke in a bottle for a nickel!
It was very interesting. Paula was our guide through the mansion and she was very knowledgeable. She and my 11 year old granddaughter Karly made instant friends. She made us feel so welcome. Thanks Paula and all the wonderful staff…
