I have never visited The Mount. But, I am a fervent supporter of house museums, and a volunteer at the Hillwood Museum and Gardens in Washington, DC. I think it is very important that current day citizens have an opportunity to see how well-to-do persons lived in days gone by, and of course, gardens are a joy to behold wherever. I hope you reach your goal. I wish I could give more.
