Interesting story of a prominent house and the people who lived in it
April 2023
Did not go in the house. The grounds are well kept but not spectacular. The gift shop has some good info and books for sale. The receptionist/sales clerk is very nice and has great restaurant recommendations.

Christmas tour...would loved to have seen more of the houses. We only saw the downstairs.
One of only five National Historic Landmarks in Columbia, the Robert Mills House showcases the skill of the architect who designed some of our nation's most prominent buildings, including the Washington Monument.
There will be no standard tours of the Robert Mills House and Hampton-Preston Mansion during Holiday House Tours, from November 15 – December 30, 2023.
