So Much To Do, So Much To See

Crystal_Z, Apr 2026

This was a great way to get to know Memphis. Our tourguide, Shannon, and bussruver, Ms. Princess, were an amazing combo. The Rock 'n' Sould Museum and Riverboats are must sees. Totally satisfied and would go on another tour with the family. There is SO much to do in Memphis.

The home is beautiful and the staff are very informative and helpful. Upon arrival one must knock on the door to be let in as it is locked at all times. I highly recommend taking an uber rather than walking.

Beautiful preserved and restored mansion showcasing Victorian era living. Self-guided tour, but docents were available for questions and additional information. Exhibits change seasonally, so will return to see new material.

Benjamin_P, May 2024

It was one of the most really beautiful Victorian house I have ever been to. This house would be prefect place to do filming on TV about Victorian times. Took over 100 pictures and would love to go back again and tour all over again. Absolutely fall in love with this house and wish I could live in the house and hope they can turns it into guest house so I would stay in this house 😁👍

Stunning mansion

Vanessa_B, Apr 2023

Absolutely stunning!! This is one of the few Mansions left on the old millions row Memphis. The lady's that run and care for this beautiful old mansion are informative and take care and pride in this gorgeous building. They are more than happy to answer any questions and give you as much information as you would like. Thank you for a brilliant tour of this amazing home.

Amanda_M, Apr 2023

The staff were friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. The house was beautiful, and the ongoing renewal of this historical building was both tidy, interesting, and even incorporated into the introductory part of the tour. And yes, the staff were happy to answer questions about the ghosts!

Really enjoyed touring this home. Guides are very knowledgeable and do a great job. There are 3 stories and turrets, not accessible except by staircase.

Stephen R, Jan 2018

Was given an amazing tour by guide - was there for over an hour and taken to see so much of the house and learn a lot about Memphis area that I knew so little about. There is a house two doors down I did as well that was great for the period.
