If you are a history buff and would like to see a historic house this would be the place in Pittsburgh. I watch and learn a lot about history, however, I was pleased by the knowledge of the tour guide and her knowledge of the 19th century and the customs of the times.
The house is decorated and dressed as it would have been at the time the pictures furniture and all of the dressings. I was and always am impressed when I go back to the house and this year we are going to the Christmas candle light tour.
The house is going to be prepared and ready for the holidays I can't wait I have been told how the house is decorated and prepared for show during the hilodays.
