This was a fascinating tour. If you love old houses with lots of history be sure to visit. Docents are well informed

You wanna talk about stunning, this place is definitely it. I was here around 25 years ago when my cousin was a student and this was the library. I was disappointed at how my family was more interested in the Internet then the amazing architecture and history behind this place. I mean, could you just imagine living in this house and the wealth it would take?!?! There are other Gilded Age mansions more grand than this place, but for Ft Wayne it's impressive. It is quite a shame of all the places that got torn down instead of upkeep like the Bass Mansion.

It would probably be best for anyone visiting the Bass Family Mansion to set up an appointment in advance with someone responsible for making appointments for people at the Saint Francis College.

Took the Christmas at the Castle tour. It's a nice way to spend an hour or so, learning about the history of the land and building. The decorations were lovely. It is a guided tour.
