It is an absolutely beautiful house. The grandeur of its time . Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and told us quirky facts that made you familiar with the family. I would love to go back when it's not pouring rain
Visiting Rosedale was a wonderful experience. Being only a few miles from uptown, it is a Stark contrast to it's surroundings. The garden is gorgeous to tour. The aged trees are enjoyable to relax under. The tour of the house is a wonderful way to learn about what sets this Charlotte area working plantation separate from your typical southern plantation.
If you are looking for the story from the prospective of slave owner, you would not be disappointed. However, if you want to learn about life from the slave's point of view (rather the enslaved, as the guide called them), don't waste your money.
The Easter Egg Hunt was a rip off if you ask me. I paid 10.73 for my child to technically find eggs for 5-10 mins. I thought that because this was a paid event that there would be other things going on to get my money's worth. Because there was no refreshments or Easter bunny to take pictures with not even someone at least face painting, I assumed that my child can go all 3 rounds of the hunt. I was mistakenly wrong ( I guess I should have read it better). I was asked did I pay for all 3 and with the puzzled look on my face I replied no, I thought it was all 3 rounds. I left with the feelings that this should have been a free event because there was nothing special about it. I could have done this in my own backyard.
Scenery is nice but sadly with the name plantation I was expecting something... bigger?
