Special Announcement
Hillwood is Closed

Every January, Hillwood closes its doors for a few weeks so that the staff can make the mansion shine! This thorough cleaning of the mansion and collections allows Hillwood to maintain the standards set by our founder and expected by our visitors. We hope to see you beginning February 9 for another year of special exhibitions, programs, lectures, festivals, and year-round beauty in the gardens.
