Hildene, The Lincoln Family HomeHildene, The Lincoln Family Home
The Hildene Estate is the historic estate of Robert Todd Lincoln, the only child of President Abraham Lincoln to survive into adulthood. Constructed in 1905, this Georgian Revival mansion served as the Lincoln family's summer residence and offers a rich glimpse into American history. Fun fact: this attraction originally drew Mike & Emily to the area. The formal gardens will transport you to a foreign land, and it holds one of only three known authentic top hats belonging to President Lincoln! Be sure to ask the front desk for discounted tickets.
