Gift Certificate for a one year family membership at Hildene, the beautiful former home of Robert Todd Lincoln, and home to the Lincoln family for 70 years. Hildene is open year-round.  Guests can tour the gardens and home, take in special exhibits, visit the farm, and hike/ski/snowshoe 12 miles of trails that wander throughout the estate's 412 acres.  Visitors may also tour Sunbeam, a meticulously restorned 1903 Pullman car-the finest wooden Pullman car on public display.  The lower trails meander through Dene Farm and out onto a 600' floating boardwalk where guests can observe wildlife in the buffer wetland along the famous Battenkill River.
