I took the house tour and the Forgotten Roads Tour. Rick, a former college level history teacher, lead the tour. The home has been restored to its early period and there are some examples of clothing, occupations, and dally activities. Rick shared stories of the staff and families who lived in the house and who their friends were - all were influential in the shaping of our country. After the house tour I was joined by Tory who has been staff or volunteering at Sully for 19 years! She toured me through the kitchens, laundry, smokehouse, and spring house, and talked about many of the ways chef Thornton and other enslaved people prepared food, churned butter, and did laundry and other chores. We visited a log structure which is built on the exact footprint of one of 3 residences for the enslaved people. I found the site to be easily walkable and the tours to be interesting thanks to Rick and Tory who brought history to life.

A took both the house tour and Forgotten Roads tour. Both were excellent. Darlene and Diane were my guides. Both were great guides. Richard Bland and Elizabeth Lee were a prominent family with a beautiful home. The Forgotten Roads tour with information about the lives and jobs of the enslaved people at Sully House was insightful.

As someone who works at a historic home, I love visiting other historic homes where ever I travel. My son, teenage grandson and I loved our tour of the Sully Historic Site. Our docent, Teri, made the tour both entertaining and educational. The house was originally built by Robert Bland Lee, Robert E. Lee’s uncle. As well as giving us the history of the house, the Lees and other occupants, Teri also gave us a view of what everyday life was like for wealthy families of the day. I would highly recommend a tour of this gem of a historic site!

Nice to have this piece of history in midst of booming, noisy suburban complex. Volunteer staff appreciated

Park well maintained. Easy hiking trails. Tour of house was incredibly boring. The gentleman guided us to a room for us to read all the information on all walls. When we asked a question, his response well it says it right there and pointed to the wall. I said to my husband to look at an item. The guide said in a condescending tone Those are not _ _ _ they are _ _ _. The remaining tour of house was taking us to doorways for us to look in room and giving brief 1-2 sentences about the room then asking any questions. He was out of breath moving around most of the visit so maybe he wasn't feeling well. So stay home if that was the case.
