Back in Time

Not alot of parking near the Mansion on the university grounds when the school is in session. Make sure you go into the house and receive a parking permit to put in the window of you car.

Very long tour, but you can sneak out if you have to

Nice tour, fun change of pace to hear about a woman who did it all instead of men. Get the discount coupons for this one, they are available everywhere.
