I was young teen back in the 70's. There was always some construction or rehab being done. Nice to see that a wine cellar was finally opened. I took a girl friend on a date there. Being broke and wanting to at least do something. She was not impressed with history or the fact that I chose a place that she has to do more walking than she wanted to. I always found visiting Sonnenburg Gardens to being a great place for a pleasant afternoon. Even if I could not exactly afford anything on the menu at the time.
I spend hours looking at each individual piece of history in the mansion when I went there. I really enjoyed the bedrooms and bathrooms the most because they had so much stuff in them.
