Discover Hildene in Manchester, Vermont

Hildene's Rich History + Heritage

Robert, the son of Abraham Lincoln, and his wife, Mary, built Hildene in Manchester, Vermont as a summer home in the early 1900’s. At the time, Robert was president of the Pullman Company–the largest manufacturing corporation in the country. This 412-acre estate has so much to see for all ages. A full day can be spent exploring the home, the Formal Garden, the observatory, the fully restored 1903 Pullman Palace railcar, Sunbeam, the goat dairy at Hildene Farm, the 600-foot floating boardwalk, greenhouse and animal barn in the dene, and the Welcome Center with The Museum Store. Family activities include seasonal wagon rides, camps for children, a scavenger hunt in the Lincoln Family Home, and the exploration backpack program.
