Comments from visitors:

“A very successful way of putting over the life of someone whose name I knew but about whom I knew almost nothing. The young woman who led us looked very authentic and did an excellent job. Thank you!”

“I learnt a great deal, it was a great experience. I felt I had lived in the era for a short time.”

“Very informative. A wonderful experience. Stepping back in time.”

“Unique experience. Informed the audience of the breadth of Franklin's talents without being dry. Small intimate size of visitors groups allows one to feel the house and imagine the presence of a family and Franklin.”

“Very accomplished actress (at times I felt transported back to the 18th century by the atmosphere created). Our visit delivered more than our expectations.”

“The most entertaining and engaging house tour I have experienced and I do visit many homes.”
