Really glad we took the time to visit this place on this recent trip to DC. It's really hard to get everything you want to do done when going to DC especially in a 3-day weekend that's why this is been maybe our 5th or sixth time down. But we never seem to run out of stuff to check out and this was one of them. When you go to places like this make sure you take an a guided tour because you really don't get the full experience just walking around and taking in everything yourself. It's really nice to have someone explain the history and the meanings behind a lot of the items and other belongings that are within the mansion. Nice place to also explore the grounds and relax for a bit. Plenty to see and well worth the price of admission.

Loved it you can tour the mansion they have a greenhouse that had orchids and we were able to go to another Museum in the property that had over a thousand years of glass from crystals to glass jars from the Roman ages it was actually spectacular and we enjoyed the cafe they had price was reasonable and the food was excellent I definitely would come back here again cuz it was so hot that I didn't get to go throughout the whole garden they had formal Gardens cutting Gardens that we just touched on the edge even a beautiful Japanese garden with waterfalls we spent almost 4 hours there and we did not go through everything this is definitely a whole day Excursion but then I have to admit I love to take my time looking through all the beautiful antiques and Museum pieces. Even my son-in-law enjoyed it and that says a lot
