Currently we are planning to come north in April of 2015 because of the recreated funeral train and a great fascination to see it go by. Possibly we'll somehow fit Hildene into that trip, too. A lot depends on my ailing back.

Roger,
Hildene is a great place to visit. My wife and I toured the house and grounds back in 1998. Unfortunately it was raining so our tour of the grounds was limited. There is an observatory on the site but they had it closed up when we were there. I would have liked to inspect the nice refractor telescope that is there.
