  We had a wonderful experience here! We did not know what to expect but the history of this place is amazing and you'll be surprised to learn about some of the inventions the women created not so much out of necessity but out of ingenuity. They were ahead of their time. The guides are full of information and very kind.

  I can really only comment on the grounds because I was there for a garden festival. I did not go into the museum so I cannot comment on that. As far as the grounds themselves go, they are beautifully maintained and there are plenty of places to explore on the grounds. I especially liked walking to the pond and back, it was a very peaceful and relaxing environment once you got away from the crowds at the festival at self.
