A National Historic Landmark, Meadow Brook Hall is an historic house museum, cultural center and events and wedding venue. Meadow Brook Hall is the historic home built by Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of auto pioneer John Dodge, and her second husband, Alfred Wilson. Constructed between 1926 and 1929, Meadow Brook Hall represents one of the finest examples of Tudor-revival style architecture in America, and is especially renowned for its superb craftsmanship, architectural detailing and grand scale of 88,000 square-feet. Meadow Brook is open for public touring year-round and is located on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester, Mich.
It's a beautiful place. However if you go at Christmas, a lot of things are blocked off and the docents were not as knowledgeable as would have been useful. On the other hand, at Christmas you get to see incredibly beautiful decorations.

Visited for the Christmas lights tour. They did a great job decorating all of the rooms. With timeslots assigned, the tour was not crowded at all. Will definitely visit again!
