The impressive grounds, gardens, and the architecture of (arguably) the most historic house in America is something to be experienced and enjoyed. Wiki or google it up. If you end up taking any tours, pop the extra $15 for the self-guided option. Well worth it.

Saw the Downton Abbey exhibit there a few years ago. Very memorable, would certainly repeat!
They also have the Chihuly glass exhibit there now which was gorgeous.
