I am not generally a fan of Victorian-Era homes, but this well preserved mansion is quite nice. We took the self-guided tour. It was easy and informative. There are docents in each room able to answe… Full review by Mark P

Great tour with Erich, our docent. Nice Victorian house with many original pieces. A lot of history. Give it a try, since you won’t be disappointed. Full review by John W

The house itself was impressive. We gave the low score due to the guide who we could barely hear, not seemed happy to be giving the tour. Full review by annapN7702ZW

A:
Both the Wadsworth-Longfellow House and Victoria Mansion are exceptionally beautiful with tours available from May to October. They are dramatically different and show how the wealthy lived in bygone eras. The Wadsworth-Longfellow House is where Henry Wadsworth Longfellow grew up. It is the oldest standing building on the Portland peninsula dating back to the 1700's. It is furnished with the belongings of the two families and other articles from that era. There are two floors to see and hear about Henry and his family. Victoria Mansion was a summer home built in 1858. I think of it as Portland's "Downton Abbey" on a small scale. It is regal like the Victorian age. The furnishings belonged to the original owner Ruggles Sylvester Morse, a Portlander who made his fortune running hotels in New Orleans. The are both worth visiting. If you have to choose - choose the one that you would learn the most about. Longfellow House around the time of the American Revolution or Victoria Mansion in the Victorian Age of Europe. Enjoy your trip to Portland - there is so much to see and do!
