Best time
Visit in fall to experience beautiful seasonal scenery and special decorations, which multiple visitors highlighted as enhancing the overall experience

Don't assume buildings are closed if doors appear shut—many historic homes are open despite their appearance; costumed interpreters and signage throughout explain the history, so engage with them for richer context
