I've never actually been inside the mansion but since the pandemic started my daughter & I have regularly walked from our house to the mansion, walked around, looked at the flora, sat on the benches, & enjoyed being outside before walking back. It's about a mile all told. I love the architecture. I love taking pictures there. I know it's not "open" right now but I still highly recommend it... Maybe when it's not -4° though. Update: it's open again and I still haven't been inside. I took my daughter up there today to meet a friend and they ran around the grounds while me & the other kid's grandma sat on a bench and talked.

It is believed to be haunted by Colonel Harvey Merrick Vaile and his wife, Sophia. She committed suicide here in 1883 due to stress of her having cancer and her husband being convicted of mail fraud. Colonel Harvey Merrick Vaile buried his wife Sophia in a see through glass casket and had her year for some years until having no choice but to give her a more proper burial.
