Small, but very nice museums. Guided tours are required and depart about each hour on the hour.
Pictures are not allowed inside the museum.

When snow shoeing and dog walking here on the lower trails. The upper trails are still muddy from the snow and rain. Love going down to watch the sheep prance in the field.

You’re not allowed to take pictures inside the house, but Monet’s haystacks are scattered around outside that you can photograph! The entire place is beautifully landscaped and photo ops abound. But, take a tour to see the spaces Theodate Pope Riddle designed and the collection of impressionist paintings inside.
Hill-Stead Museum, a National Historic Landmark, serves diverse audiences in Connecticut and beyond as a welcoming place for learning, reflection and enjoyment. The museum develops, preserves, documents, displays, and interprets its exceptional Impressionist paintings, 1901 historic house, and 152-acre landscape for the benefit of present and future generations.
