“Not so hot but weather has not cleared. Yesterdays storm was worse than we realized. Trees are down in all directions – in Lower Town the severity was felt and much damage done. This afternoon showers were frequent. Barometer does not rise gusts of wind frequent. Charlotte is not feeling well this afternoon has a little fever. Mr. And Mrs. Miller dined with us this evening.”
June 29, 1901
At a Glance
Rugged stone, massive scale, fine detail, and ingenious mechanical systems recall the powerful presence of James J. Hill, builder of the Great Northern Railway. Guides lead tours that help you imagine family and servant life in the Gilded Age mansion. Completed in 1891, the red sandstone residence was the setting of the public and private lives of the Hill family.
