Why you should go…

Hildene is the 412-acre estate that Robert Lincoln, son of President Abraham Lincoln, built as a summer home and completed in 1905. You can walk through the Georgian Revival house, see the formal garden planted with peonies, and step aboard Sunbeam, a restored 1903 Pullman private car. The grounds also hold Hildene Farm with its Nubian goat dairy and about 12 miles of walking trails through meadows and woods.
