Although the self-guided audio tour on the app does not replace a human tour guide that you can ask questions of, it was a well-organized and informative tour. I do have one piece of constructive criticism. Perhaps the preservation society should sell earbuds or headsets at a very reasonable price so individuals can put one ear piece in while they walk around versus some people walking around with the volume amplified.

This is a must if you do the tour..audible download. Very enjoyable. Makes it very engaging. Bring your headphones...it helps to really listen to the tour. Will go again.

This app doesn't allow you to download the individual tours after you download the app from playstore. I have a pixel 2 and wouldn't recommend, was told by the employees working in the mansion that this happens with Android phones. Was very disappointed since I'd bought tickets for 2 mansions prior to knowing this issue...used the brochures they provide in the mansion to navigate and read some history. The people inside helped in giving some background, hope they bring the guided tours back.
