  • I strongly recommend everyone visit this place …not only the grounds which are absolutely stunning but the interior of this house has tremendous history and many of the pieces are the original pieces Dating back to the original owners and architectural related items are all intact. I must point out one individual and her name is Sandy Our guide. She was very knowledgeable wonderful sense of humor and made everything so interesting and on top of this , she was extremely kind and very professional. It is because of people like Sandy that makes a person want to contribute toward the well-being of this house which we did , and in addition to the admittance fee We also added an additional donation for the use within this beautiful house. Riverview you should be very proud of the history the architectural beauty and preservation of this beautiful home , in addition , Sandy was icing on the cake.
  • Christmas tour. Our tour group was assigned too many, way too many people, 19. It seemed rushed and a little chaotic. History was very interesting, house was beautiful. This tour was free or donations accepted. We did donate.
