  Great historic home. The home has many features that were ahead of it’s time. The home had a central heating system, electric lights with gas back up and a beautiful pipe organ. Hand carved woodwork with rare mahogany wood throughout the home. While on Summit take a walk to see other historic homes. Perfect place to bring your guests from other countries like we did. Awesome learning experience about the history of St. Paul. Highly recommend!

  This is a really interesting historical view of Minnesota in the late 1800s. The Hill House reflects the upper end social standing of the time, and is also a very interesting look at some innovative building construction elements of the time period. Take the tour, then explore more on your own.
