Hillwood Marjorie Merriweather Post zereal-enpresako oinordeko, bildumagile eta filantropoaren azken egoitza izan zen. 1955ean erosi zuen 1920ko hamarkadako estilo georgiarreko jauregia, eta etxe-museo bihurtu ondoren, 1977an ireki zizkion ateak jendeari. Bertako 17.000 piezako bilduma Errusiako arte inperialaren bildumarik osatuena da Errusiatik kanpo; besteak beste, Nicholas II.ak bere ama Maria Fedorovnari oparitutako Faberge Pazko-arrautza bi daude ikusgai, bai eta Icon Room aretoan bildutako ikonoak, kalizak eta ehun liturgikoak ere. Frantziar aretoetan Sevres portzelana, Nattierren erretratuak, Louis XVI.aren Jean-Henri Riesener maisu-altzari-egilearen piezak eta Posten Cartier nahiz Harry Winston bitxiak daude. Kanpoaldean, Innocenti and Webel-ek diseinatutako 5 hektareako lorategi dotoreak aire zabaleko gela sail gisa zabaltzen dira: frantziar parterre batetik eta arrosadi batetik hasi, eta 1957ko japoniar estiloko lorategi bateraino nahiz errusiar dacha bateraino.
