Absolutely no words. This place was absolutely beautiful and fascinating. Thank you so much for preserving such a wonderful piece of history and also sharing it with the public. I’m incredibly grateful to have been able to walk around this property taking its history. This was an emotional and educating experience. Plenty of restrooms. Friendly staff. Cute gift shop. Cold drinks and small snacks available for purchase.
