This location is a must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture. The 1894 Folk Victorian home is beautifully restored and offers a glimpse into the lives of the past. The guides, such as Miss Sally, are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making the tour a pleasure. The house is decorated for special occasions, such as Christmas, adding to its charm. The location is romantic and perfect for couples, as seen by the many wedding proposals and celebrations.The location is well-maintained, with a small garden outside the house. The period furnishings, including those owned by the Baynard family, are a highlight of the tour. The guides are happy to share the history of the house and its occupants, making the experience informative and engaging.One issue to note is that the location is not always open to the public, and visitors need to make arrangements in advance for a tour. This can be a bit inconvenient, but the end result is well worth the effort.The location is a great example of preservation and restoration, and it has set off a wave of similar projects in the area. The City of Auburndale has done a great job in maintaining the house and its surroundings, making it a treasured part of the community.
