    The stories were great and so were the tour guides. The house is not huge compared to many of the other mansion tours I went on. They kept the kids entertained with a sheet of things to find in the house, which was awesome. I'm pretty sure there is stuff missing from the house though. The museum at Mayo has a bunch of Tiffany lamps, and I only spotted one in the house that might have been Tiffany. The grounds are awesome to walk around, although there is a lot of stuff missing from way back. Definitely worth the trip from the twin cities.
