I loved the presenters as they introduced us to this historical house and grounds. I appreciate all your work.

So glad to see these beautiful old homes restored. They are works of art. Thank you!

As a child I rode by this house every day on the school bus, probably 1965-, 1966. I was fascinated by the house. When I was a girl scout we visited the property it
was a very sad nursing home. There was no beauty then, it was institutional. Glad to see it so cared for.

All of the hosts do a beautiful job, expressive, not too fast, not too slow. So pleasing to listen too.

So glad this has been saved and maintained-thank you!

This mansion is beautiful! I absolutely love everything about it! The colors are amazing! ❤️🌹❤️

I wonder if the wingless cherub symbolized a lost child or the absence of children.

I remember that place when it was a nursing home. The restoration has been spectacular. It is a wonderful place!

So cool that they had a different presenter for each room. Loved every second of it.

That was a brilliantly filmed and narrated tour of a magnificent historic mansion! As a former docent, I will say that the docents that spoke in this video are amongst the best I've ever heard! If ever I travel to this area, this will be a "must see" for me! Thank you all for your time and effort in producing this excellent presentation!

10 years ago, I came here with my parents. We toured the home and loved it. So glad to see additional items have been donated and efforts continue to make more improvements.

What an amazing property! Well done restoration.

Wonderful job Independence, Missouri! It must have taken an immense amount of work and money to bring this jewel back to its original state. I'm sure we wouldn't recognize it as a nursing home. Thank you for sharing this wonderful, historic home with us!

Several years ago, I was lucky enough to tour the Vaile Mansion. It's a wealth of Victorian exuberance, and a delight to the eye. The copper bathtub really caught my attention, and I also remember the 'scandal' of the bedroom ceiling painting, as well as the 'faces' in the faux wood. Both Independence, and St. Joseph, Missouri have many gorgeous Victorian homes; being the 'gateways' to the West. Thank you, so much, for sharing this wonderful tour of the Vaile Mansion. :)

Thank you for the lovely tour conducted by people who obviously loved the mansion ❤️ And being serenaded by the gentleman with
"The Teddy Bear's Picnic" was wonderful! 🦋🦋🦋🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋

Correction: The reed organ is an Estey Artist's Model. It is not German. It is American and was made in Brattleboro VT. I am a reed organist and restorer. The rest of the video is great though!

What a gorgeous home! I'm happy that it's so beautifully preserved and well cared for. I'd like to hear more about a possible haunting, though. Thank you for this.

Wonderful to have volunteers redoing the fountain, outdoors! Beautiful! I’d love to visit! I’m so glad this came up in my feed! What a great video of such a lovely place! Thank you for the tour!

I appreciate your honesty about Mrs. Vaile's death. It's good for people to understand that opiate addiction, mental illness, and suicide are not new problems.

This video is so beautifully narrated. My thanks goes to all these lovely volunteers.
