The Hill-Stead museum was wonderful. The house was well kept up, the staff was incredibly friendly and the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the house, items in the house and the family. I would highly suggest this museum as a place to visit.

Modest, enjoyable impressionist collection (Degas, Monet, Manet, Cassatt), a unique Colonial Revivalist home, pleasant grounds.
