Tour Overview: Tours of the mansion offer a glimpse of over 150 years of American history as lived by the Ridgely family, European indentured servants, enslaved African Americans, and paid laborers. Visitors can join a guide and walk the halls of this historic structure and learn about its architectural features, artwork, and the thousands of other authentic collection items that are on display. The mansion's artifacts and decor is changed twice a year - once in the winter and again in the summer to showcase seasonal fashions and adjustments that predate modern utilities and luxuries. The only way to see the interior of the mansion is by being on a mansion tour.
