Love stepping back in time and learning how people lived and survived hundreds of years ago. Tonya was our guide and took time to explain every room and answer all our questions. She was wonderful ❤️
Nice little historical stop. Took the tour it was ok staff seemed to be very informed of the sites past.
Beautiful estate, many of the furnishings in the home are original to the Winchester family. The docents give very good historical tour of the home. The grounds, gardens and family graveyard are definitely something to see.
