The James J Hill House is a historic mansion in Saint Paul. The home was built by railroad tycoon and builder of the Great Northern Railway James J. Hill in 1891. The 36,000-square-foot home is a National Historic Landmark and is available for touring.

The interior of the home features an art gallery which displays Hill's private art collection, some of the family's furnishings, a pipe organ, and very intricate, hand-carved woodworking. A small gift shop is available, selling books and items relating to the railroads, the Hill family, and the historic site itself.
