5 /5 Nancy Huber: The architectural splendor of the mansion, combining elements of Greek Revival and Victorian style, is amazing. Every detail, from the carved railings to the elegant chandeliers, testifies to impeccable taste and desire for beauty. A tour of the rooms of the house is a journey through time, where stories about balls, political intrigues and the daily lives of the inhabitants come to life.
Of particular value is the collection of artifacts, carefully assembled and presented by the museum. Furniture, interior items, photographs and documents reveal not only the personal stories of the Goodman-Legrand family, but also the broader picture of American society in the 19th and 20th centuries.
