Reviews
"My husband and I went on the 3rd and had the best time! The guide was fabulous- nice, funny and very knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone who loves the history of old houses."
"We had a wonderful tour of the Sam Bell Maxey house! The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly loves to share the history of this family. So many original pieces to the family and their rich history make this a must see!"
"The house is beautiful. I liked the history of the family. At the entrance/ kitchen area there is a huge clam shell that one of the Maxey boys brought home from college. I've never seen a clam shell that big. I attached a photo. My favorite room was the library. All original books and photos owned by Mr. Maxey. Upstairs, we saw the vintage toys. The little stuffed lion is adorable. I also liked the drum and puppets. The widow's walk, balcony, and front porch were closed and currently under reconstruction. The tour guide was very nice and knew a lot about the Maxey family. Afterwards, we visited Evergreen Cemetery. The Maxey family is buried directly across from the saint wearing cowboy boots."
"Call ahead and book a guided tour. It's a beautiful home and rich with history. Really enjoyed our tour today. Had a lovely time."
"This was the last site we visited in Paris today. The sunset perfectly framed its Victorian charm. Next time, we plan to take the self-guided tour!"
