This was a great historic building to visit! My favorite part was the dungeon tour in the basement. Our guide told great stories, and gave us interesting facts about this very old building. Full review by Ronnie S

Someone said you really don't have to pay admission to visit this. The $10 was for the tour. Is this true? If we don't pay are there things to read explaining things? I did read on the website that the self guided tour only includes the top 2 floors and not the dungeon. Anyone have experience with this?
