We were on the last tour of the day I believe. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and you could tell he was very enthusiastic about the history of the house and the town in general. The house is in incredible shape and the people in charge are doing a great job keeping it that way. Would recommend taking a trip to see it for yourself.

Wow! Just. WOW! The woodwork and stained/leaded glass are exquisite. The stories behind this family are even more divine.

A tour I won't forget! Stunning house! The curator knew so much about the history and also shared suggestions for other "house museums" in Wisconsin to visit.

Absolutely beautiful. They have a great program the second Thursday each month of the summer with themed books and crafts in the beautiful pergola by the gardens and the carriage house. It can be a bit hard to hear with the traffic and fountain noises but it’s just a gorgeous atmosphere and so fun to explore the grounds! So grateful for this awesome program. It can be a bit long for littles since they read two books, but it’s low key enough you can give them a break walking around and rejoin.
