Hillwood 是麥片王國繼承人、著名收藏家兼慈善家 Marjorie Merriweather Post 的最後居所。她於 1955 年買下這座建於 1920 年代的喬治亞式大宅，將其改造成一座宅邸博物館，並於 1977 年正式向公眾開放。館內藏品達 17,000 件，是俄羅斯境外最完備的俄羅斯帝國藝術品收藏，當中包括 Nicholas II 贈予母親 Maria Fedorovna 的兩枚 Fabergé 復活節彩蛋，以及在 Icon Room 展出的聖像畫、聖杯與禮拜織物。法式展廳內則陳列著 Sèvres 瓷器、Nattier 的肖像畫，以及 Louis XVI 御用家具名匠 Jean-Henri Riesener 打造的家具，同時亦呈獻 Post 珍藏的 Cartier 和 Harry Winston 頂級珠寶。戶外則有由 Innocenti and Webel 操刀的十三英畝幾何造景花園，如同一組優雅連貫的戶外庭室展開，涵蓋法式刺繡花壇（French parterre）、玫瑰園、1957 年建造的日式庭園以及一座傳統俄式木屋（Russian dacha）。
