Meadow Brook Hall’s curator, Madelyn Chrapla, shows just two of the unique displays located in Meadow Brook’s Living Room – a handmade “dress tree” designed to replicate a real dress Matilda wore to a party in 1913 and a look into the beautiful organ chamber, which is on display for the first time in 50 years.

Meadow Brook Hall has earned third place in USA Today’s 2025 10Best Readers’ Choice travel awards!

Meadow Brook has consistently placed in the top ten for the past seven years, and earned second place in 2024.

Celebrate Meadow Brook’s 96th birthday by learning about the construction of the historic mansion.

Built between 1926 and 1929 by Matilda Dodge Wilson and Alfred Wilson, the Meadow Brook was designed in a Tudor Revival style inspired by English manor homes. Today, the estate stands as one of the largest historic homes in the U.S. and a preserved cultural landmark, showcasing the vision, craftsmanship, and legacy of its founders.

We are excited to once again be in the running for USA TODAY 10Best Reader’s Choice contest for Best Holiday Historic Tour. Last year, we came in 2nd place!

With 88,000 square feet of dazzling holiday magic, the Holidays at Meadow Brook are Michigan’s grandest holiday destination. The contest will run until noon on Monday, Dec. 1. Place your vote today – and every day – for Meadow Brook Hall!
