DVD Reviews of America's Castles: The Grand TourDVD Review: Love this series!
"The Grand Tour" is a 2-disk compilation of six episodes from the A&E series "America's Castles," which was produced in the mid-1990's Using historical footage, the show highlights properties built during the Gilded Age when rapid economic growth created a new kind of wealth - the industrialist. The homes are oppulent and ostentatious, a true showplace to display their fortunes before taxes made them unmanageable to operate. Each episode has a certain theme such as "Florida's Grand Estates" highlighting the beach front homes of several northern industrialists to south Florida or the "Gold Coast Estates" which highlights luxurious Hamption homes on New York's Long Island sound, concentrating on two to three homes per episode. Providing history of the family that built the original home, and in most cases, the persons who brought the property back to it's original glory after years of neglect. The original owners are a who's who of the Gilded Age including super-rich industrialists and financiers such as John D. Rockefeller, Andrew W. Mellon, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Flagler, J.P. Morgan, and of course the Vanderbilt and Astor families.
