This was unfortunately a very disappointing experience. The price was very high for the service and opportunity provided; would not recommend paying for the house tour. The Paca house itself was very interesting and I'm glad for the opportunity to view the lifestyle of the Paca family first-hand. However the tour guide, Michele , was absolutely terrible. She was not friendly, cordial, and micro-managed the tour; most disappointing was her lack of knowledge of the history behind the most basic information - for example, how Mary Paca passed away - and her disdain for questions and interest of the tour outside of what she wanted to speak about. The tour was actually uncomfortable and I almost left multiple times throughout but didn't because of the high cost of admission and wanting to get as much out of it as possible. The garden grounds were very pleasant and kept up, but there was nothing striking. Other than for the avid history buff, I would not recommend visiting this historic location.
FYI Saturday tours end at 2:30 for weddings. I must have missed that somewhere arriving at 3:20 but I wasn't the only one so that's heartening. They still sold me a $5 garden ticket (only good til 3:50) to look at a dry ravine, barren flower beds, scorched shrubs and a folly visible from google images. On top of it, the wedding set up was fully underway so we were pushed around and it was made clear we were unwelcome. Oh and idyllic peace? Only if you enjoy tacky DJ beats. FYI not handicapped accessible. I recognize my standards for house tours are high bc we enjoy it as a family and have visited dozens of the great American houses in truly every single state. While I was looking forward to this, it was an utter disappointment.
Interesting Historic Place. The docent was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. The house is surrounded by pretty gardens. I visited this site in the Summer. I understand the gardens are at their best late Spring.
Loved the tour! When I was there the tour only consisted of the ppl I was visiting with. Definitely worth the money for the inside tour.
Great tour of house and gardens. Tour guide very friendly and knowledgeable of history of house and life style of family. Lots of "period" details in the rooms. Garden tour on your own - to wander around or just sit and enjoy. Lots of history to the garden area too!
