Hill-Stead Museum
About
Hill-Stead Museum is a National Historic Landmark set on 152 pastoral acres overlooking the Litchfield Hills. The grounds are accented by stately trees, seasonal gardens and over three miles of stone walls and woodland trails. The property boasts endless opportunities to host your special event, from a 1920 Sunken Garden, a 1901 Colonial Revival home with wide veranda, barns, grand lawns and a warm and inviting indoor barn venue. The home was designed by pioneering female architect Theodate Pope Riddle (1867-1946). The home was built to showcase her father's magnificent collection of furnishings and Impressionist art. The Museum’s collection includes paintings by Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, James M. Whistler and Mary Cassatt as well as numerous works on paper and Japanese woodblock prints.
Hill-Stead has been named one of “most-out-of-the-ordinary places [Connecticut] has to offer for wedding receptions.” With scenic views of the Litchfield hills, expansive acreage, a sunken perennial garden and historic indoor spaces, Hill-Stead is an exceptional venue for…
- wedding and commitment ceremonies,
- receptions and photo sessions,
- corporate meetings,
- retreats and client events,
- private functions like birthdays, anniversaries, showers or family reunions.
