We have taken our grandchildren to this beautiful home for years. Back to when we had the Freedom Train coming through and the 1776 -1976 Celebrations. One of my favorite places to spend the afternoon....just before lunch at Logans.

My Mom and I went to Mordecai Park to tour the house for Christmas. It was beautiful! We arrived before the main house was opened, but enjoyed our time viewing the grounds and smaller buildings. The staff was friendly and answered any all questions for us.

well kept up, docents are informed, can answer questions.
I went with my children to see what it was all about. It's basically a bunch of buildings and a garden. That's it. It is cool to see a historical home. Preserved very well as we should keep some things around from our past. I support the idea and it is a quiet little stroll. Just don't expect much.
House tour and trolly ride makes for a fun, entertaining day.
I went with my daughters' classes for a field trip. I didn't even know this historic site existed until then. Our tour guide did a great job telling the history and keeping the kids focused.

This is just an old neighborhood. The city appears to be trying to make it look like a tourist attraction but there's nothing note worthy here or worth stopping for.
