Ratings and reviews

Make sure to download the free Tour App before you go into the Mansions! It gives so much great info!! Beautiful Mansions! The app helped me understand and appreciate the priceless art work plus pointed out many things in each of the rooms! Kudos to The Preservation Society for offering free parking and the free Tour app!! ( plus all their hard word keeping this part of history alive for us!)

Although the self-guided audio tour on the app does not replace a human tour guide that you can ask questions of, it was a well-organized and informative tour. I do have one piece of constructive criticism. Perhaps the preservation society should sell earbuds or headsets at a very reasonable price so individuals can put one ear piece in while they walk around versus some people walking around with the volume amplified.

I was planning to use this App for an upcoming trip, but when you install you HAVE To permit notifications. That's truly not needed. I neither want, nor need an app like this sending me things. I'm sure it'd be helpful to have, but... oh well.
