Question

What’s special about Meadow Brook Hall?

Answer

Meadow Brook Hall was one of the first places Annmarie brought Matt to in her hometown! Built in the 1920s by Matilda Dodge Wilson, it’s a National Historic Landmark spanning 88,000 square feet with 110 rooms, making it the largest historic home in the Midwest. Its Tudor-revival design features 39 chimneys, hidden passages, and secret stairways. It’s also a meaningful place for Annmarie, who grew up volunteering there at her mom's writing camps.
