  • It was a great tour. The house was spectacular on the inside and out. One of the best things about the estate was that they turned the grounds into a park so you can walk around and enjoy nature.
  • Awesome tour. Our guide had been leading tours there for 23 years and knew the answer to every question. Beautiful house and history.
  • The neighborhood was better than the estate itself but it was cool seeing the garden. One thing I really get tired of is visiting these places and seeing America celebrate slave owners. There were a lot of great men and women of this country that were on the right side of history in regards to slavery and we should celebrate them not men and women that owned other human beings. We as Americans should be able to at the very least agree on that basic point.
  • Very peaceful, pleasant place to hangout or walk through. Lots to learn about the property and its history through markers on the property. Dogs love it as well
  • We attended the Christmas tree lighting at the beautiful Ashland estate. Our son-in-law sang with the barbershop group and we enjoyed walking the grounds. We hope to come back when we can take a longer tour.
