Robert Lincoln, the only child of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive to adulthood, became chairman of the Pullman Company at the turn of the 20th century. He built Hildene, a Georgian Revival mansion, in 1905 in the scenic village of Manchester, Vermont. It became home to only Lincoln descendants until 1975, longer than any other Lincoln residence. Today, its historic home, gardens, trails, woods, and farm are preserved on 412 acres of quintessential Vermont landscape. Our camps and school programs foster children's love of learning in a safe and friendly environment. Each day they experience a wide variety of hands-on activities that are educational and fun. They are encouraged to explore, experiment and make their own discoveries. All of our school programs support Vermont's Framework of Standards & Learning Opportunities.

Hildene offers tours; exhibits, including "The American Ideal; Abraham Lincoln and the Second Inaugural"; and educational programs.
