Meadow Brook Hall is the fourth largest historic house museum in the United States and is renowned for its craftsmanship, architectural detailing and grand scale. Built between 1926 and 1929 as the residence of Matilda Dodge Wilson (widow of auto pioneer John Dodge) and her second husband, lumber broker Alfred G. Wilson, the 110-room, 88,000-square-foot, Tudor Revival style mansion is complete with vast collections of original art and furnishings.
In 1957, the Wilsons donated their residence, its collections, the estate's 1,500 acres and $2 million to found what would become Oakland University. Meadow Brook Hall was opened to the public in 1971, four years after Matilda’s death.
Currently, the Hall serves as a museum and cultural center, welcoming more than 100,000 visitors each year to participate in tours, educational programs, a variety of special events and corporate and social facility rentals.
