The Harrison Mansion was built from 1802-4 for a price of about $20,000.(around $1 million in today's dollars.) Tours are available on the hour. Parking is available on the street next to the entrance. But: No photography of any kind is allowed inside the mansion. It is privately owned, not part of the State Museum collection. There are numerous plaques outside that give you a little history for events that took place on the grounds of the mansion which is called Grouseland (grouse were hunted for food and were William Henry Harrison's favorite dish.) Harrison was Governor of the territory and would go on to become the 9th President of the United States at the age of 68 (the oldest elected until Reagan.) While in Vincennes, he often had dealings with the local Native American tribes including historic meetings with Tecumseh and his brother Prophet a while before the Battle of Tippecanoe during the War of 1812. There are grounds marked where the first meeting with Tecumseh took place since he refused to enter the mansion. Besides the history, the mansion is a museum. Much of the Harrison family possessions are still on site and the rest of the home is filled with period pieces. (I really wish I could have taken pictures!) All the original hard wood floors are still intact. Visitors are limited to viewing most rooms from the area by the doorway entrance. The house had three parts: The ceremonial and affairs of state section; the family section; and the servant - soldier section. It is easy to spot the differences between the family and servant sections. In fact, if you take the tour, you will need to be able to walk steep and narrow stairs and will have to watch your head if you are of average height or taller. I also found it interesting that the mansion was constructed with extra thick walls to serve as a fortress for the family and locals in the area to retreat to when under attack by the native people. The mansion had a view of the Wabash and could see travelers on the river, but that also made it easy for an attack to arrive silently via the water. Fortunately, the house had a place in the roof to send light signals to the fort 2 miles away. The tour was filled with anecdotes and interesting information. Some of the furniture was quite different from what we use in modern times. I could only guess at some of the pieces (fortunately the tour guide knew). Overall, it was an enjoyable visit. Just wish I could have taken pictures. Review #2968
