About Hildene

Hildene is more than a historic home. It is a place where history, agriculture, conservation, and education intersect. Situated on more than 400 acres in the Green Mountains of Vermont, Hildene welcomes visitors to explore the legacy of the Lincoln family while experiencing a working farm, restored landscapes, forests, gardens, and educational programs that inspire stewardship of both our past and our future.
