Rusty (IN):
"Ruthmere is an excellent place to visit. We were met friendly staff that made our tour memorable. Not only is the architecture an unexpected surprise but the Museum's amazing collection of fine arts is astonishing. The finale of our tour was held in the historic garage where antique cars of the early 20th century are housed. The gardens were in full bloom and featured a wide variety of breath taking color. I highly recommend a visit to Ruthmere Museum, it is a true treasure of history and beauty. "
