On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, we were excited to welcome the Princess Anne Garden Club for their monthly meeting and a tour of the Hill House Museum!
This visit was especially meaningful because of the historic connection between our two organizations. The Princess Anne Garden Club was founded in 1932 by Elizabeth Gregory Hill. The legacy continues to connect these two organizations through a shared history and a love of horticulture and community.
It was a wonderful time of fellowship, history, and appreciation for the remarkable legacy of the Hill family. We are grateful to the Princess Anne Garden Club for visiting and celebrating this special connection with us!
Thank you for being part of the Hill House story

A special visit...
Yesterday, during the Sail250 festivities, we were delighted to welcome three very special visitors to the Hill House—three talented young ladies portraying the Hill Sisters in their youth (pictured left to right: Evelyn, Blanche, Elizabeth).
The young ladies were fascinated by the preservation of the Hill House Museum and the many ways their family's ancestors are honored throughout the home.
It was a wonderful visit filled with history, discovery, and a meaningful connection to the past. We were honored to host them and grateful for the opportunity to bring history to life in such a special way!
Stop by for a tour on Wednesdays and Saturdays noon-3:00.
