  • I took the self-guided tour. There were ample cards in every room to explain the room and furnishings, but not much seemed to be authentic.

  • Definitely worth a visit. Only takes about an hour at most to do the tour. They have note cards in each room to tell you the significance of certain items in that room. There are also pieces furniture and other items that belong to Mary's Niece Katherine Helm. Small little gift shop on site, it was a little pricey or at least in my opinion it was, 6.99 for a small magnet was a bit much.
  • I enjoyed the tour. I think the guy I talked to was Jacob, he was very knowledgeable about the place. There was a couple of areas that were not the tour, like the attic, but there was a sign there to tell you about it. The back yard garden was pretty neat too. And there is a gift shop around back as well. I got some t shirts for the kids and magnet for the fridge. I wish in retrospect I would have gotten an pair of the Abe Lincoln socks they sold.
  • Provided a good history of the Todd family. $15.00 for adults. History buffs will find it very educational and interesting. Not recommended for young children. Stairs to the second floor.
  • My wife and I are both history nuts, so we both really enjoyed our visit. I liked that their is a tour guide but you can also explore the house on your own, beautiful house, very historic.
  • Nice. They have done a lot of work and the house looks good. I think $15 admission is too much as it’s a small house without a guided tour. Good if you are a Lincoln fan, but Henry Clay’s house is the better Lexington attraction.
