Dear NNV Members, 

We are excited to announce our next local member trip - a visit to Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens. Nestled in the hills of Northwest Washington, D.C., Hillwood welcomes visitors from around the world with its gracious hospitality. Escape into an oasis only five miles from downtown Washington and explore the pristine mansion and enjoy the beauty of the formal gardens.

When: Wednesday, June 29th 10:00 AM

 

What To Expect: The visit requires walking and standing. Most of the gardens and the house are fully accessible. There are some chairs and benches throughout the gardens, and a few chairs in the mansion that are available for guests to take breaks. There are some stairs throughout the gardens and the mansion, and all these spaces are marked on their maps that will be handed out to guests upon arrival. The larger flights of stairs (one in the mansion, one in the visitor center, and one in the Japanese-style Garden) do have handrails. They also have an elevator in the mansion and in the visitor center that guests are welcome to use. Wheelchairs, rollators, and canes are welcome. You can read more about their accessibility, here.

 

Thanks to our volunteer Anne M Novak, the price per person for a guided tour will be $15 instead of $26. Guests will pay for their tickets in the visitor center on arrival. Anne will be our guide. We also are allowed to bring our own lunch. There is ample first come, first served seating under the courtyard tent, and there are also chairs and tables throughout the gardens.

 

We can have 12 people for this visit and if you would like to join please RSVP by sending an email to mbahar@nnvdc.org .

 

There is ample complimentary parking available onsite for those who will be driving. If you need a ride, please add that request to your RSVP.
