We will be greeted by Hillwood's Executive Director Kate Markert before enjoying self-guided tours of the gardens and a docent-led tour of the Estate and the museum's renowned collections.Lunch is available at Hillwood's on-site Merriweather Café; advance reservations are available but not required.
