Be Safe: Hampton's grounds and mansion are beautiful. But like many other old farms, they hold potential hazards. Please be mindful of holes, rough surfaces, fallen nuts and branches, and other trip hazards. Animals call Hampton home, and their holes--not to mention their stingers--can be dangerous. The building interiors have some uneven surfaces. Heat and humidity can cause health emergencies--please eat and drink appropriately to prevent heatstroke or heat exhaustion. The mansion is not air-conditioned.
