Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens
Park · Washington, DC
About
In a quiet residential neighborhood off Tilden St., NW, Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens is a hidden treasure. This 25-acre estate was the home of Marjorie Merriweather Post, and her collections of Russian imperial art, French decorative art, and more fill the mansion. The gardens are expansive, with formal French, Japanese, and rose gardens to explore.
Hillwood is dog-friendly, so you can bring your pup to enjoy the grounds. It's open Tuesday through Sunday from 10am to 5pm. If you're planning a day of culture, consider adding a stop at The Phillips Collection nearby. The estate feels far from the city bustle, despite being inside DC.
