Join us for romance and adventure as we
visit the Hillwood Museum & Gardens. The historical
twenty-five acre estate overlooks Washington's Rock Creek
Park. This Georgian-style mansion, designed by John Deibert
in 1926 is lavishly decorated by Marjorie Merriweather
Post and is sure to take your breath away.
A singles-only event, we’ll
start with a meet and greet in the lush entrance of the
mansion, and conversations will continue to sparkle as
we enjoy an hour-long docent led tour. The tour will include
the French drawing room, pavilion and spectacular dining
room. Then join us for a scrumptious lunch at the Hillwood
Café and savor the wine, conversation and fabulous
setting. Everyone who visits is sure to fall in love.
