Victoria Mansion was an ideal visit for any lover of art and history. The Mansion has amazing architecture and extraordinary interiors with hand-painted walls. The Morse family owned the house and made a fortune operating luxury hotels, they were also very active participant in the slave economy. This Mansion holds alot of history and you get to experience that history first hand. The ticket prices were reasonable ( I recommend buying tickets online) and they had a guide in every room to explain all the details of that room. I highly recommend the tour, I highly recommend buying tickets online and mask are required.

Good place to spend time and understand the history of wealthy American heritage and downfall. The entire tour is guided and takes around an hour. Wished all the rooms were available for a visit. Since it's guided, per slot occupancy is limited to 7-8 people. Parking available along streets and are paid as free parking is only for 15-30 minutes. Recommended to book the tour prior to visit. Service 4.5/5 Value for Money 3.5/5
