    My family and I really enjoyed learning about the history of the area. The kids liked the interactive displays.

    As an animal lover, I was thrilled when my wife told me we were going to visit retired racehorses…read more With the cold and snow rolling in, I was worried the tour might be canceled--but thankfully, it was still on. We gathered with the other guests, warming up in the office before heading out. For us humans, the weather was a bit much, but the horses absolutely loved it. One thing that really impressed me was how interactive the experience was. We weren't limited to standing behind a fence--we were able to feed the horses carrots and admire them up close. It made the visit feel personal and unforgettable. About halfway through, we stopped in the barn to watch a short film about the farm's history and mission--an informative (and very welcome!) break from the snow. Afterward, we ventured back out to meet the remaining horses. Despite the chilly weather, we had a wonderful time. If you love animals or just want a unique, heartfelt experience, this tour is absolutely worth it.

    What an amazing place!! The founder fulfilled his dream of offering a retirement space for retired…read morethoroughbreds. You are able to visit these fantastic athletes up close on the tour and feed them carrots. Gorgeous landscape of rolling hills on the farm. Easy to walk. Jill, our tour leader, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the horses. If you love horses, you'll fall in love with this place. If you aren't a horse lover, you will likely become one by the time you leave!

Be prepared ahead of time by getting a bottle of water and using a bathroom in Georgetown downtown beforehand. Tour was over an hour long. Don't let that discourage you, I had an incredible time! Arrived 5 minute drive outside of Downtown and parking is in the Lawn. Extremely impressive Greek Revival Mansion - took my breath away Architecture wise. My husband and I thought we would see if there were any tours available and there was nothing scheduled. Basically when you arrive some one will immediately take you on Tour which was nice. Tour Guide was very lovely and was very knowledgeable. I fell inlove with the ornate plaster moldings and medallions. The Oval Staircase is 1 of 2 in the US and is an amazing experience to go down from the top! 99% of all the Gorgeous Antiques are not original to the house owners, but are Extremely Fine rare pieces found in Museums and high end Galleries. Ward Hall is privately run and is in great need of donations for its Upkeep. It's still one of the Most Beautiful Mansions I've ever visited and I highly recommend touring. Check their website for Dates and Times they are open!

    Ward Hall is one of the most beautiful examples of Greek revival architecture. The double…read moreelliptical staircase is not to be missed! A chance to glimpse into another time. The grounds were being tended by volunteers who were doing a great job. The lawn is attractive and fairly flat around the house and easy to navigate. There are a few interesting outbuildings and a slave grave yard. The house is filled with period antiques and reproductions. This is a definite must see!
