A Great End to Our FifthTour Season
November 05, 2007
Response to Estate Tours continues to be truly remarkable. By the end of this season (4½ years after opening to the public) we’ll have welcomed our 75,000th tour guest. Ten Chimneys’ gardens, grounds, collections, and interiors are looking better than they ever have, and – based on guest response – the “Ten Chimneys Experience” is as engaging and inspiring as it’s ever been. Here are just a few comments from recent tour guests:
“I was incredibly impressed by Ten Chimneys! The estate is flawlessly restored, and the exhibits in the visitors’ center are fabulous! The design shows a meticulous attention to detail – from the guidebooks to the gift shop. Kudos to you! It’s beautiful!”
“This may be the best home tour I have ever been on – from the moment you enter to the final curtain.”
“It’s a wonderful place. Every time you come you see something you didn’t notice before.”
“Absolutely brilliant! Stunning!!! We have toured many historic homes – this was the best, by far!”
We look forward to welcoming you in 2008!
