  • Fantastic tour. I live near here and rate excellent. On my way home I see cows and other animals. ..

  • Even while the exhibits were closed the grounds were a sight to behold, and the gardens were absolutely stunning. It is very flat and easy for pleaser walking. My 13 year old granddaughter loved it...

  • Was unable to view indoor exhibits as they were closed until next season. The outdoor views however were beautiful. Well maintained and easy to navigate plantation structures. Weather was beautiful and I really enjoyed the experience.
  • I traveled to the area all because of Sotterley, which I heard of in a book I read called Sunflower Sisters. We did the grounds and house tour with Eve who was a wonderful guide. We chose this rather than the self tour so that we could hear all the stories etc that you don't otherwise get. Not only a beautiful setting but full of history and stories that go back hundreds of years. The slave cabin was the most interesting to me and the reason I had to see Sotterley. The tour touched on some of the enslaved history but I wish it did more, the exhibits did also but not in depth. I wish there was a seperate tour to focus solely on the lives of those enslaved on the plantation as they held slaves for over 160 years. The plantation thrived on the backs of their enslaved, if it wasn't for them it would not have prospered. I was thankful to have a place to pay honor to those who suffered through this atrocious period of America's history.
