Goodman-LeGrand House & Museum - Tyler (TX)

5 /5 Joseph Riordan: Wow! The ladies who worked there were so sweet and knowledgeable. They allowed us to tour to the house and take our time. The history was so amazing. I posted a few pictures but there is so much history in that house you have to go see it for yourself. So much stuff to see. Admission is free but I encourage everyone to donate!

5 /5 Roman Stanton: Was so nice. The ladies were helpful and knowledgeable; even about random questions. I love the items being 90% authentic. Will probably help out there on a volunteer basis if Im able.

5 /5 Veronica Port: I dont usually tour historical houses but this was worth it. The folks were helpful and told me the history of the house. The house, I believe, is almost all original, as are the artifacts. Donations are accepted rather than an entrance fee. Worth the time? Absolutely. The town of Tyler? I was too early (March 3rd) for the roses and azaleas so didnt see anything else.

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.
