Thank you for visiting during the 2025 season! The museum is now closed until Spring of 2026. Please enjoy walking the grounds, looking in through the windows of the playhouse and carriage barn. Sit on the steps of the veranda. Hike The Mile Around Woods and linked trails (access to the Fund for North Bennington trail system is through the Hiland Hall Gardens). Our parking area and grounds are open year-round, dawn to dusk. Great news: through Bloomberg Connects, we’ll be launching a robust profile with content to help you explore the property from your device. Check back in November 2025!
Historic Significance
The house, a 35-room mansion built by skilled artisans over the course of 18 months, is a prime example of Second Empire design, and represents a specific period of architectural history in the United States. Influenced both by British opulence and natural patterns, architects, designers and artists in the Victorian era brought together many different themes with a special attention to detail.
Cultural Engagement
Our cultural programming happens in (almost) every season. On our grounds and in our structures, we host a classical music series, a summer croquet league, membership meetings, theater productions, readings, dinners, music camps, and other public events.
Weddings & Special Events
Green manicured lawns, radiant flowers and topiary, makes the house one of the most verdant places to hold your wedding or event. For weddings, this Victorian mansion is regarded among the most romantic places to tie the knot.
