This is the home of Daniel Boone's great nephew. It is not as grand as some of the homes we saw in the area, but this family was not about grandeur. It is worth the time to visit, but the tour guide we had was very slow talking, and we were getting very restless.there is a fee for this house and is not ADA accessible.
A beautiful historic home and a great example of architecture of that time period. Something unexpected on the edge of the city.
Waveland is a beautiful historic site with lovely gardens and extended grounds for walking in . Playground for children is a nice plus. Great place for photography and is a favorite with local photographers.
This was one of the best tours I've been on. The tour guide, who also resides on the property we extremely knowledgeable. Loved the period dress.
The tour guide was very informative! She was dressed in period clothing! Even had a playground for my daughter to get energy out!
Went in the summer on our weekly mother son trips we called "Touring Tuesdays" This tuesday we went here. The tour was well led and very informative. There is small charge for the tour. The grounds were so pretty. Pack a picnic and enjoy your afternoon. There is a cute little playhouse on the property. You could do this one in the morning and Ashland the Henry Clay estate in the afternoon. Great Day!
The tour of the house and grounds was informative.The slave's life was revealed in the kitchen and living quarters.The day was stormy and dark. No electricity made it difficult to enjoy the historical artifacts.I would definitely return on a sunny day.
This old mansion and outbuildings are in great condition. The tour starts in the house and ends outside when you go through each outbuilding. It wasn't very busy the day we went, so we got a really detailed tour with lots of stories. The tour guide kept both kids engaged and it was a great learning experience. The grounds are great for taking family photos, so dress the kids up, grab a camera, and head over to Waveland for a photo session and historical tour!
My grandmother was born a Bryan. It was her great-grandfather Joseph Bryan who lived in the plantation. My grandmother Bryan, my mother, my brother and I visited Waveland in 1993. My family has many stories to tell about the life and adventures of the Bryan family I like the one about the "whistle path." Ask your tour guide to tell you about it when you visit. I am working on a Master's of Education degree and I have chosen the history of Waveland as a project for my professional e-portfolio. We live in Texas now where for the most part, the Bryan family has been poor ever since. I have horses. My favorite is named Copper. He glistens in the sun as he dances in the pasture. I wonder if he dreams of Waveland like I do?
Waveland is great. It's not just a museum you can just go there anytime you want and walk around and let the kids play. The grounds are very pretty and it's just a nice place to go on a sunny afternoon. It's a very old house so expect an old house. You don't even have to go in. You can just enjoy the grounds for free. Even if you don't want to tour the house it's a nice place to visit.
