LOVED IT! My whole family of 7 loved the mansion! The tour was excellent! I would recommend and I cannot wait to visit again and see what I missed first time around. I am glad the family donated their home and their personal items for us to view. Beautiful inside and out!!!

The mansion was so beautiful! I love woodworking and it was amazing to see all the detailed work that was all over the house. Our tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, which made the tour really fun!

Was an interesting tour to go on about this mansion, who lived there and some of the luxuries of the time. Needless to say, there is a narrow staircase on part of the tour (and some places were jt is of concern to those with disabilities).

Great place, family friendly. My 9-12 year old children also love this place. Prepare to spend up to 4 hours, more or less depending on how much you want to experience. The price is right the staff are helpful and friendly. The place is clean and neat.

This was a hidden gem!We bought tickets to see the Studebaker museum and this was included in the price. We enjoyed the tour of the Oliver Mansion better than everything else.Our docent did a wonderful job! We enjoyed hearing the family history of success through hard work and ingenuity. The place is beautiful. We enjoyed the many thoughtful features that the architect and family designed into the house.

This is a great historical tour of the Oliver Mansion left just as it was when the last family member lived there. Very knowledgeable guides make the tour very interesting. See it by itself or with the Studebaker museum tour.

I love old houses, this one is so beautiful. The tour guide was so nice. She knew the history and shared it well. The wood work and details are awesome. The whole place is so nicely maintained. My family and I enjoyed our visit.

A lot of blown up digital photos and an $8 charge to see some antique carriages. Also its an agricultural company museum so if youre not into AG, probably not the most exciting.

If you take the tour, you can get all kinds of information about the Olivers and about the studebaker auto industry. They have lots of information podiums along the way that explains how they lived and how it started.
