Message: <blockquote data-quote="stevew" data-source="post: 263000" data-attributes="member: 130">I have always wanted to visit Northern California to see the Carrington Mansion and the especially Falcon Crest - just when I've been their it never worked out.  One day it will.  And I'd take a special trip to Dallas just to see South Fork, but honestly I don't think I'd go inside.  Now, IF the owners gutted the inside and made it like the sets (it doesn't have to be a real house with all the real pieces just the main dinning room, living room entry hall at a minimum) I'd book my trip right now.  I hear it is a huge attraction in the Dallas area, so I don't understand why they don't spend the money to make it so.  As a conference center I would think it would be more valuable, sitting around the Ewing dinning room table for a meeting, moving the furniture in the living to host a cocktail hour, all that before using the outbuildings and tents on the property to host any number of events.  They did something similar with the Brady House and looking at it, that must have been a much bigger challenge considering the structure of the outside.  I get what you're saying, the house seems like a home in a way that the Carrington Mansion and even Falcon Crest did not.  Imagine walking into the living room and Grandpa Southworth's picture and photo's of the family all around and then step into the study off the back and Jock's picture.  I'd feel like I was visiting the Ewings.</blockquote>
