Bonnie Lentych:

"This is a beautiful historic mansion in South Bend that is lovingly kept up by the History Museum. The staff are always friendly, and volunteers give their time to share their love of local history with the patrons. I attend the Christmas events each season to see the amazing decorations. They offer guided tours, and it is a must-see if you are visiting the area!"

"Beautiful old mansion, full of history and nostalgia. The tour was excellent. You cannot wander by yourself."

"We recently held a wedding in the gardens of this lovely property and could not have been more pleased. Ken C, the Director of Visitor Services and Facility Rentals was terrific to work with. The gardens are so incredibly beautiful, it made for the perfect backdrop for our ceremony."

"I recently had friends say they went to the Studebaker Museum (which is on the house’ property) and didn’t take the house tour. They didn’t think it’d be worth the time. Don’t make the same mistake they did. This is an outstanding house tour. I love architecture and touring old homes when I can. The Oliver family gave their well maintained, unmodernized home, along with all of its antique contents, to the historical society. It’s a must see if you’re an architectural fan like me."
