Reviews of Hillforest House Museum
"It was amazing!!! I got to climb up into the observatory and see the telescope. What an amazing view of the Ohio River!!!! No wonder the Gaff's chose that part of the property to build on"
"This was such a great treasure! We got the tour from a couple of wonderful ladies. It was a beautiful house and what a treasure it is to have it kept up and in great condition. It was so nice to walk through there, hear the stories, and see the details in the house. It's a must-see if you're on the area."
"Visited/toured this amazing historic home - the tour was provided by Pat who gave us a lot of great historical information about the home, architecture, town, original owners, and various items within the home. It was a great experience and wonderful to hear about this home's place in early American history - through hard work, patriotism, ingenuity, and dedication."
"Gloria was our guide. She was informative, patient, and engaging. We really enjoyed learning all the historical facts and insights about the history of Hillforest and the Gaff family. Loved the restoration and plethora of artifacts throughout. Definitely had some paranormal stuff while there. Nothing spooky, just presence felt and made known. Highly recommend a visit!"
"Very good tour! Cost of the tour goes to the upkeep of this historic home. Lots of area history with this one family. Beautiful home! Definitely recommend this tour!"
