"From spies to secret passageways put your super sleuth skills to the test as you search for over 70 secret doors & themed rooms. We would never give you a map - this would ruin the surprise of finding a secret door. We do give you a hint card and talk to you about the Big O before you start your tour. It?s not in the finding, it?s in the seeking that is important. Experience the magic! You will begin the tour with an in-depth introduction to our rich history and our secret doors, as well as what to look for when you tour. Then, we will send you off on your hunt for the secrets and treasures that are everywhere to be found.
As you explore the mansion, which is steeped in history and intrigue, you'll be walking in the footsteps of presidents, freedom fighters, G-Men, historians, famous musicians and fiction writers. Built 125 years ago, nearly every President since Teddy Roosevelt has visited. During the Vietnam War, Norman Mailer wrote about the house, and the mother of the civil rights movement, Mrs. Rosa Parks, called us home. Keep your eyes open for memorabilia of those who has passed through these doors."
