Bob Vila's Guide to Historic Homes

From Thomas Jefferson's unforgettable "Monticello" to Frank Lloyd Wright's inspired "Fallingwater", Bob Vila explores 20 private homes that made history. He takes a special look at rooms and grounds that are not open to the public. Go inside a resplendent plantation in Natchez, Mississippi, a Shaker "dwelling house" in Massachusetts, a Spanish colonial in Monterey, California and the peculiar Ace of Clubs House in Texarkana, Texas. Along the way, Bob explains how these spectacular houses were built and tells the rich stories of the men and women who created them. Three tape set.
