Enjoyable and educational. 30+ years in Sac and I'd never been to the mansion. Tour was wonderful. Glad I did it and would recommend.

Hardly anything is free these days but this wonderful tour of a historic mansion w a guide is FREE. The story behind the mansion is fascinating. I totally marvelled at how the original two storey mansion was raised up 12 ft n added on a grd floor n a fourth. Every visitor to Sacramento should visit this marvellous historic site.

Definitely worth a visit if you're a local or a tourist. The house gives great examples of life in the late 1800s and early 1900s for this very privileged family. Interesting story about how the location of Stanford University started out as a horse stable owned by this family, and for many years the university was tuition free to allow anybody to achieve higher education. The story of the family, the university, and the house is quite a contrast to life today on multiple levels. Tours are offered daily at the top of each hour. Last tour is 1 hour before closing. (4 pm when we went) You can enter the grounds and the small museum/interpretive center at any time during operating hours for free and look around before your tour starts. No visitors allowed inside the house without the guided tour.
