Nestled between the Taconic and Green Mountains in Vermont is the glorious Hildene Estate. Hildene was the summer home of Abraham Lincoln’s son Robert Todd Lincoln, and it is where Lauren and Dusty (after 10 years together) chose to begin their marriage with a Hildene wedding. Historic Manchester Village is charming, and classic New England. Full of interesting shops, excellent restaurants, and beautiful churches. So, even native Vermonters like Lauren and Dusty gravitate to it for celebrations, where Hildene is the crown jewel of this beautiful community.
Fun Fact: Lauren and Dusty actually attended a prom at Hildene (as friends) when they were still in high school!
