The Hildene, Manchester, VT

Few historic sites in Vermont are as bucolic and majestic as the site that was once home to Robert Lincoln Todd and his family.

Experience the formal gardens, the observatory, the walking trails, the swamp, the agricultural center, the quaint village of Manchester, and more.
