Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Hildene was the name given to the Lincoln family’s summer home. It once belonged to the eldest son of President Abraham Lincoln, which was Robert Todd Lincoln. In 1863 Robert Lincoln first visited the home. Robert’s daughter, Jessie Harlan Lincoln also lived in Hildene during the summer months.
And later she lived there permanently from 1946 until 1948, the year of her passing. The last descendant of the Lincoln family lived in Hildene until 1975. Then, in 1978, the Friends of Hildene bought the property and restored it. Today, this landmark is a popular attraction that offers tours to visitors.
