ABOUT MEADOW BROOK HALL

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 one of the automotive aristocracy’s most remarkable women, 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, Michigan.
