Reviews of Dorr House
"Our tour guide Gale was wonderful, funny and informative. She guided us on a tour of the Dorr House, the church, Lavalle and Lear/Rocheblave Houses. Two of the houses are on the small side although grand in the Victorian style. But they are filled with nice period pieces and staged in such a way that you feel the residents were just out for a stroll. The ticket price is a deal, you get access to the homes and nearby associated Museums for 7 days, the area has lots of great dining along with the historic buildings and parks, a must visit in Pensacola."
"This house was built in 1871 by Mrs. Dorr after her husband and eldest son died in 1871. What I thought was very interesting was the photo designed with the hair of a dead loved one. This was common during this era. We were told that the kitchen and boys bedroom had been modernized because someone involved with house wanted to live in it. I forgot who and details. So we only saw sitting room, dining room and 2 bedrooms upstairs. The young woman who gave tour is also at the Museum of Agriculture. She is wearing dress from early 1800’s. This is a guided tour so go to Museum of Agriculture to find out times. We toured the church at 1pm then went to house after. I recommend visiting this house if in the area and like learning about Victorian era."
"Entry to one of the select museums can get you access to 4 of them with additional tours to other historic locations. GREAT VIEWS. Tour guide was AMAZING, very informative and friendly. The Dorr house is a no touch area, but there’s no need to touch because they have everything placed so that you can see it easily!"
"One bit of advice I would offer is to visit during the cooler months as most of the dwellings are not climate controlled. Wonderful tour with informative guides and the homes speak for themselves."
"Part of the historic tour. Our guide brought the home to life with stories and period trafitions. Furnishings of the times were beautiful. The hair art was interesting as was the costume. They offer an afternoon tea tour on certain days. Worth the visit!"
