You are missing a treat by not visiting the inside! If you take the time to research where the cost of admission goes, there isn’t a better value for the money spent.

Hi. The website says that "House and grounds close 1 hour after last tour admission." It gives the hours of 10AM-5PM, but I don't know if that means that the last tour admission is 5. Are the house and grounds open until 6PM?

I would guess the last tour admission is around 4pm. The tour usually arrive by bus, so it might start 10 or 15 minutes later than 4pm. The tour takes about an hour to complete.
