Lots of info on Lincoln's son. He was not beloved by Pullman Car butlers and chefs, which is ironic. Visit to find out why?

Questions & Answers

Price of admission?

Robert Bittenbender | Sep 27, 2018

I believe if memory serves me correct it was $23 as for the tour of the house and they did have other attack on tours that cost $8.50. that might seem high to you but you can easily spend all day there. They also opened up a new part where Lincoln did his farming. It was my second time that I went this past summer but I would like to go back into the fall to see the grounds would be simply stunning. I hope this was helpful to you

I recently joined Hildene as an individual member and thought I would get two guest passes with my membership. My confirmation did not mention passes or how I was to receive them. Please clarify as I am visiting in two weeks with a guest.

I would call them on the phone and ask them that question. Maybe they will be able to help you.

Can I bring my dog

Rebecca DaSilva | Sep 27, 2019
Brian Moran | Sep 27, 2019

I've been there 3x and never saw a dog. I would definitely call first to find out. Maybe they would allow dogs on the grounds but not in the actual house.

All gardens, trails, farm and venue access is covered by the admission fee ($23/adults, $6/ages 6 - 16years), paid at the Welcome Center. No part of the property is free to access, unless you are a member (yearly individual membership, $60). For members, check-in is required at the Welcome Center, and access is during business hours only. Hope you enjoy your visit!

I don't believe it's a National Park.

Is there wheel chair access?

Dee Hughlett | Sep 27, 2019
Donald Higgins | Sep 27, 2019

I agree with Andi. There is no wheelchair access to upstairs that we recall. Access to the Pullman car would be tough.

sam key | Sep 27, 2017
Amy and Richard Kargauer | Sep 27, 2017

Certainly not. It isn't a hotel, it's an old home.

How did Hildene get it's name?

Joan Silvernail | Sep 27, 2017
Andrejs | Sep 27, 2017

Lincoln called it “Hildene” from an old English word meaning hill and valley with stream.
