    Don't Touch Means Exactly That!

    by cjg1 Written Nov 6, 2008 5044 reviews

    4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    Favorite thing: It is common knowledge that you should not touch anything in the Mansions. They should be respcted and treated as a museum. There are signs posted and guides remind visitors not to touch but I have witnessed it happen before.

    On a tour of the Breakers the guide told us that many items go missing from tour to tour and they have found visitors touching and playing with historical pieces. I find this to be disrespectful and rude.
