Hill-Stead Museum
Hill-Stead Museum, the 1901 Colonial Revival-style house, was designed by pioneering female architect, Theodate Pope Riddle. Theodate Pope Riddle was one of the first licensed female architects in the country and an early proponent of historic preservation. Designed as a country home for her parents, the Colonial Revival mansion is one of the nation’s few remaining representations of early-20th-century country estates with 152 acres of gardens and grounds. Hill-Stead gives its visitors a close-up view of renowned masterpieces, textiles, and decorative arts in situ. The artworks live in an intimate domestic setting, as intended by the Impressionist artists, who created works to be lived with.
The three miles of walking trails at Hill-Stead embody the rich history of its landscape, winding among historic farmland, fruit orchards, pastures, and forest...exquisite in any season. With a pond habitat, meadows, lowland, lowbush, and forest, Hill-Stead’s trails are a paradise for nature enthusiasts of all ages. Whether you love fine art and design, the beauty of gardens and woodland trails, celebrating the seasons, experiencing live poetry performances, or immersing yourself in history, Hill-Stead is always ready to welcome you.
