Customer Reviews
Edwardian…
Great episode! Love how the history of Britain is so well explained in depth. That adds so much to the description of how Edwardian estates functioned. Thumbs up!
Dr. Linda Tribuzio
Fascinating! Can’t wait to go on one if Keith’s tours! Amazed to hear that you would have liked to live in Cyrus West Field’s house (was at 1 Lexington)! Field was the ancestor of my niece’s husband!
Wonder if Ruffles family is connected to Ruffles Ave. in Newport Rhode Island?
