Visited the Nathaniel Russell House on April 1 after Ed Grimball's walking tour. Gardens outside the home were pleasant (not as extensive as some homes).

My family and I really enjoyed touring this house. We bought the combo ticket to tour this one and the Aiken-Rhett house for $16.

I am not a history buff but I enjoyed learning about the architecture of the home and getting a glimpse into what life was like in that era. Time well-spent. more

We really enjoyed our tour of the NR house. The gardens are beautiful as is the house and it's furnishings (the paint colors and moldings are crazy beautiful). Our guide was VERY knowledgeable too. I would definitely recommend it for history buffs! more

We loved the house and garden and enjoyed our tour. Admission was quite expensive, but if it goes to help with restoration, I suppose I understand it. more
