Great tour . The tour guide/interpreters were outstanding and made the experience so much better. Totally worth the price of admission. You can get a discount with the other museums .

The tour was wonderful. The docents were knowledgeable and acting as if they were in the shop's period added much to the charm. Well worth the small entry fee.

This is only a few blocks from downtown Fredericksburg and an easy walk. In fact, there are no time restrictions for parking in this neighborhood! So park here rather than downtown! - Jill H-W
