I know it costs to keep buildings in good order and grass cut. The price of the admission is not bad - $8. If I would have had bug spray I am sure I would have stayed longer - and a gravel path to walk on would have helped I am sure. By this time I was being eaten alive by chiggers and mosquitoes so I quickly viewed and left. I walked a ways and figured out I needed to walk the opposite direction. The path leads to a large open grassy field, with no sign pointing which way to go. I then walked through the nature path to view another cemetery on the property - this was very confusing as it just has one sign pointing to the cemetery and nothing else. After touring the house you are given a map to follow to other sights on the property - two small grave yards and a small wooden building (that was moved from another sight) There are no path ways so you have to walk through the grass for viewing, this would not have been an issues except with the dampness on the ground (it was 11 AM) by the time I walked to the small building both my socks and shoes were very wet.
The tour guide really did not have much to say, however, she was friendly and would answer questions when asked. In the main office they had a small display showing the homes history along with the area's time line. The house itself is old and interesting, however, since it has very little from the original owners they had on display items from that time period. I was very excited to have time to visit as I had seen it from the road several times.
