A wonderful example of historic preservation at it's best. More

I have loved visiting the McHenry Mansion since my childhood, but the best trips I've taken have been during the Christmas season, with the entire mansion decked out in gorgeous decorations! My children love the Dickens Faire, when the mansion is filled with cheer and warmth. More

A step back into the history of Modesto. Wonderful to see at Christmas when the Mansion is decorated for the holidays. Nice little gift shop with lots of wonderful tea pot sets for little girls or collectors. Been through the house several times plus attended a beautiful wedding in its gardens. More

A very nice museum for our little town and represents the by gone era. It is closed at this time for at least 6 months due to a fire in Dec 2011. Worth a visit when it re-opens. Very nice for dinners down stairs and wine tasting (Gallo, of course) More

Lots of volunteers there to answer any questions, very welcoming & informed about the details of this lovely piece of history for Modesto. More

reminds me of the haunted house at Disneyland. More

Great place to visit, take in some Victorian era history. Loved the beautiful artwork and furniture of the time. The Gallo family revived what history there was in Modesto. Which isn't very much at all, as you find out on the tour. It seems like the city and its citizens have let Modesto history pass by without recording it properly... More

McHenry Mansion is not huge. It is however, beautiful! A great place to take the kids to give them a piece of history and get them outta the house for a couple of hours. I loved the place when i was a kid. And I still think it is pretty cool. Everyone should check it out sometime while in modesto. More
