The History of Meadow Brook Hall
This 110-room Tudor style mansion was constructed from 1926 to 1929 and was once the home of Matilda Dodge Wilson.

Her collections are still kept in the home today and reflect the elaborate lifestyles of the American Industrialists of the early 20th century.
Today, over 70,000 people visit Meadow Brook Hall every year to learn about and explore the historic mansion.
