Reviews
"I had a lovey time in this museum. My guides Ani and Lilly were knowledgeable and relayed the Underhill’s story with intrigue and excitement. It is one of the best tours I’ve been on."
"The tour guide (I think her name is Lily), was very friendly, very interesting, insightful and knew a lot about the Underhills. Everything is so well kept. The back patio was very peaceful and restful. The ticket price is a bargain! Even my small children liked it. It was a great experience!"
"Tour provided a great back story and info on the town, interesting to learn about the previous homeowners and their impact on the community. The tour guide, Lilly, made our day! She was kind and very knowledgeable, made me excited to learn the information!"
"An informational tour with a ton of interesting facts about the town and its history. What really made this experience stand out however, was Lilly! Her enthusiasm about the information she was conveying was absolutely contagious. This was a great experience, thank you Lilly!"
