<p>[QUOTE="Barbara W. Preston, post: 4301735, member: 13943"]I understand what you are saying and I totally agree with you; however, our museum normally has tours daily where we serve cookies and our House tea in the gift shop and and we have large group tours where we serve the House tea or water to the guests in the dining room. Plus, were have to rent out our House for events (weddings, receptions, luncheons, parties, etc.) and so we cannot rope off certain areas and "Excuse me, but you cannot sit there or touch that." One of our goals is for our guests not to just walk through another Victorian house, but for our guests to feel or sense what it was like to live in a Victorian home in 1860-1890 in Mobile, Alabama. You can see our museum at richardsdarhouse.com. You can see our reviews on TripAdvisor and note that we seem to touch our guests in a different way than most museum house, especially in our area. Yes, this make for a lot of wear and tear to our furniture, but we seem to be able to keep these precious items in good condition. Thank you for your concern and expression, Darkwing Manor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
