Sounds like a great historical place to visit!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is.
DeleteIt reminds me of Tyron Palace in New Bern, NC.
ReplyDeleteI've never been there. But I'm sure it's nice!
DeleteHi Sherry - lots of history here ... it'd be fascinating to look round. Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a place full of history.
DeleteI think I visited there as a kid. My mom loved historical homes and gardens
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, I didn't care too much about historical places, but now that I'm an adult, I find them fascinating.
