His father was born in a log cabin and called from the humblest rank in life to preside over our nation during the most momentous period of its history. One generation later, Robert Todd Lincoln, the only child of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive to adulthood, became Chairman of one of the largest corporations in America at the turn of the 20th century. He built his Georgian Revival mansion, Hildene, in the scenic Vermont village of Manchester in 1905 and it became home to only Lincoln descendants until 1975, longer than any other Lincoln residence. It is an example of the "Great American Story" and the story of the Lincoln family's love affair with Vermont. An historic home, gardens, trails, woods and farm set on 412 preserved acres of quintessential Vermont landscape.
