We had visited many times but never took the tour. We enjoyed the tour and seeing the inside of the house. We were able to use our senior pass.

Excellent! Upon booking we expected a self-guided tour and were delighted to learn we'd be guided. Our guide Dmitri was a wealth of knowledge who gave an informative and enjoyable tour! Our group was small, only 6 people, and the tour lasted about 45 minutes. Would recommend to anyone, especially those interested in learning more about NY State history and US history. Thank you Dmitri.

This was an incredible experience! Marge, the Park Ranger leading our tour, was exceptionally knowledgeable. Unfortunately, she's retiring next week after being at this location for nearly 40 years! We were so fortunate to learn from her. Make sure to reserve your tour spots ahead of time, as it was very busy over the weekend.
