Hills House

Hills House is a former residence in Hudson that now operates as a museum and community gathering place. The building features wooden shingle walls, varied rooflines, front porches, and a distinctive tower topped with a cone-shaped roof.

The house was built in 1890 as a summer residence by a wealthy physician and reflects the prosperity of that era. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, recognizing its importance to local history.

The house now serves as a museum and event space run by the local historical society, featuring exhibitions about regional history and life. Visitors can walk through rooms that reflect how people lived during different periods.

The house sits near schools and residential areas and is fairly easy to reach. Visitors should check ahead for opening times since access may vary depending on the season or scheduled events.

The founder, a successful New York physician, wanted to give back to the community and donated land for a new school. That high school still stands on the neighboring property today.
