What a beautiful place! What a beautiful collection! Peaceful, stunning, warm stories. And the gardens... ih my, the gardens! Maybe I lived there in another life because I could feel at home. Amazing place to visit in whatever season. It totally worth the visit.
Visited Hillwood with a friend to see it decked out for the holidays. Besides the lovely interior, we particularly enjoyed all the Christmas trees, the dress sculptures, the spectacular orchids and lunch in the restaurant. Highly recommend!
We absolutely love this place ❤️
In the museum you can see a lot of different things from the era of Catherine II, things were bought at an auction in the Soviet Union. We saw Faberge eggs, cutlery, carpets, paintings, icons, jewelry, crockery and an incredible house museum.
Also, in the museum there is a beautiful gardens with various plants, accompanied by architectural structures. The Japanese garden is just amazing.
Moreover, the museum has a greenhouse of all exotic plants and most of them are orchids.
We will dedicate this place again and again 👍🏻
This museum and the grounds are beautiful and fascinating! Ms. Merriweather Post lived such an interesting life and her collection is amazing! We're lucky she preserved so many historical items and made arrangements to share them with the public

Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens is a cultural gem in Washington, D.C. The former home of Marjorie Merriweather Post boasts impressive collections of Russian and French art, as well as stunning gardens. The mansion itself is a masterpiece, offering a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle of its original owner. Overall, a visit to Hillwood provides a delightful blend of art, history, and natural beauty.
Really glad we took the time to visit this place on this recent trip to DC. It's really hard to get everything you want to do done when going to DC especially in a 3-day weekend that's why this is been maybe our 5th or sixth time down. But we never seem to run out of stuff to check out and this was one of them. When you go to places like this make sure you take an a guided tour because you really don't get the full experience just walking around and taking in everything yourself. It's really nice to have someone explain the history and the meanings behind a lot of the items and other belongings that are within the mansion. Nice place to also explore the grounds and relax for a bit. Plenty to see and well worth the price of admission.
Stunning! I went over the spring for mother/daughter day and returned in the fall to actually tour the mansion. Really cool to walk around (you could leave me in the japanese gardens), though I don't know if it would hold the attention of children.
Loved it you can tour the mansion they have a greenhouse that had orchids and we were able to go to another Museum in the property that had over a thousand years of glass from crystals to glass jars from the Roman ages it was actually spectacular and we enjoyed the cafe they had price was reasonable and the food was excellent I definitely would come back here again cuz it was so hot that I didn't get to go throughout the whole garden they had formal Gardens cutting Gardens that we just touched on the edge even a beautiful Japanese garden with waterfalls we spent almost 4 hours there and we did not go through everything this is definitely a whole day Excursion but then I have to admit I love to take my time looking through all the beautiful antiques and Museum pieces. Even my son-in-law enjoyed it and that says a lot
Amazing place to visit in any season! In spring the gardens are colorful and fragrant and their Christmas decor in November/December is sparkling! Highly recommend taking the included tour of the mansion.
Very beautiful property.
The gardens are heaven . They also have a conservatory where you can see more exotic plants .
The mansion is luxurious and a piece of history as well. Most of the interior is decorated with Russian artifacts and paintings of different personalities.
You will love a visit here and is not pricey
