Hillwood 是麦片产业继承人、收藏家兼慈善家 Marjorie Merriweather Post 的生前故居。她于1955年购入这座建于1920年代的乔治亚风格宅邸，并将其改建为故居博物馆，于1977年正式向公众开放。馆内藏品达1.7万件，是俄罗斯境外规模最完备的俄罗斯帝国艺术收藏，其中包括 Nicholas II 赠予母亲 Maria Fedorovna 的两枚 Fabergé 复活节彩蛋，以及陈列于 Icon Room 的圣像画、圣杯与宗教纺织品。法国展厅内则展出 Sèvres 瓷器、Nattier 的肖像画、Louis XVI 宫廷御用家具工匠 Jean-Henri Riesener 打造的家具，还有 Post 私藏的 Cartier 与 Harry Winston 珠宝。宅邸之外，由 Innocenti and Webel 设计的十三英亩规整园林如同一组连贯的户外展厅徐徐展开，从法式花坛与玫瑰园，一直延伸至1957年修建的日式庭园与俄式木屋（Russian dacha）。
