Absolutely an amazing place to see. So much history. Such friendly staff working, they had incredible stories to tell. The artwork was amazing. The fact that this place was a living history was so cool to see. Would love to go again and see everything all over again.

Went here for the public holiday open house. The house itself is gorgeous and the addition of all the Christmas decorations made it even better. There are two levels but during this open house, only the first floor was accessible to the public. The garden also looked beautiful but it was not open to the public to wander. Helpful and kind docents! The house is usually open for public visit around holiday times and for tours or special events.

Fantastic experience!

Quicknote: The mansion isn't open for walk-in since it's a residence so the only way to see the inside is to reserve guided tours in advance. You have to go to the NC science museum in-person to start the process of reserving, it takes some time.

That being said, I had a fantastic experience. The tour went for 30 minutes and the first floor is available to see. The security team, staff, and guide were all welcoming and friendly. There's a lot of interesting history and the mansion is aesthetically beautiful from the inside.

I highly recommend checking this out if you're in Raleigh!

Visited during Christmas time and the decorations were so beautiful. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They were all very informative and open to questions. I do encourage anyone who is curious to visit.

Had an event inside the mansion, we previewed the site in the morning and came back in the evening, and had to prepare and move in lots of stuff for the event, all of which have been accommodated by the staff. David is absolutely a pleasure to work with, very helpful and supportive. The mansion itself is a piece of art, one of the best in the country.
