Barbara gave us an excellent tour of the house and packed it with lots of historical knowledge. She definitely gave us a picture of who John Dickinson was.

Went for a tour for Saturday at 11:30am. Me and my partner are the only two guests. Chris, our guide, is fantastic!!! Strongly recommend!
PS. It’s recommended to watch a 14- minute video at the visitor center before going to the tour. We didn’t watch it because we arrived at 11:20.
