Off the beaten path - locally known

Hillwood is one of my favorite gems here in DC - you'd forget that you're still in the city when stepping foot at the mansion- take a tour of the mansion by one of the many knowledgeable docents, and learn about Marjorie Merriweather Post's deeply philanthropic life through business, the arts, and the extraordinary legacy that lives on now long after her death. Take leisurely strolls of the gardens (please do not pick the flowers or vegetation so that all may enjoy), and marvel at the impact the family has made. Let me know what you think!
