We learned a lot on the tour, but at $15 a person for 45 minutes, it is a little expensive.

If you're a history buff you will love this place! They've done a great job at restoration while maintaining the integrity of the history of the home! Lots of furniture is also original to the home and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable, both on the families that have lived there and the story of the mansion itself. Great way to... More

The Victoria Mansion is one of Portland's treasures. During the regular season (May to October) you will see this opulent, period-furnished architectural gem by guided tour. At Christmastime, the rooms of the mansion are decorated according to annual themes by local designers. At that time, visitors are permitted to walk through at their own pace. Don't miss this!

Extremely knowledgeable staff, wonderful step back into time.

Each year is a different theme, 12 days of Christmas, Dickens, etc. Nice gift shop with reasonably priced decorations and gift items for all ages.

Victoria Mansion, built in 1859, is a breathtaking experience. The house is incredibly intact, with most of its original furnishings as designed by Herter Bros. still in place. The building is undergoing gradual and meticulous restoration. A National Historic Landmark. Open May-October and during December holidays.

The Victoria Mansion was built in the 19th century by a hotelier as a summer home. The grandeur of the home rivals the finest hotels of the same time period. The Italian architecture is one of a few left in the country from the time period. Worth a tour!

We went for Christmas tour and I thought it was too pricey and for a short tour.

This mansion (small) decorated in Victorian style with many details, makes a nice diversion--seeing second floor requires climbing stairs.
