Hobson Grove is located in the city where my parents lived the longest and where I went to high school and university. So it was fitting that we hold a small family reunion at Riverview At Hobson Grover a few years back. During that time, there were some enactments of life back in when Riverview Mansion was in its heyday. The highlight was the appearance of a man who impersonated MarK Twain, and performed some excerpts of his literary pieces.

Just returned from Christmas at Riverview at Hobson Grove. What a magnificent production they put on! One is truly transported back through time and space to an authentic Victorian Christmas! The use of real candles as a primary means of illumination and the violin music completed the experience!

Very nice mansion tour. The tour guide was a pleasure. The location was a little tricky to find, but just keep following the gps and you will get to the right place.

We had a wonderful tea at the Riverview at Hobson Grove mansion along with an interesting tour of the house. We had booked this as a side trip as part of getting to the Corvette Museum 25th anniversary and it was will worth it. The peach ice tea was delicious as was the apple and cinnamon hot tea. My wife had the peach hot tea and that was flavorful as well. The tea sandwiches included chicken salad (outstanding), pimento cheese (tasty), and cucumber and cream cheese (delicious). There were scones with jelly and cream along with assorted desserts. To top it off, the granddaughter of the family who last owned the house was part of the serving staff which was attentive and gracious. The tour was informative and interesting and the view from the functioning cupola was beautiful. The only disappointment was that the river was no longer what it once was with steamboats plying the river due to damming and other encroachments of civilization over the years.
