Spider Museum Meetup in DCJoin alumna host, Ashley Bolding, '06, and fellow Spiders for an inspiring tour of the Hillwood Estate Museum —the former home of Marjorie Merriweather Post, a pioneering businesswoman, philanthropist, and collector who defined her own legacy with confidence and style. More than one of the most successful women of her era, Post embodied ambition, independence, and vision long before it was the norm.
Connect with fellow alums and take in the legacy of a woman whose bold leadership and refined taste still inspire today. Together, you'll explore her stunning Washington, D.C. mansion turned museum. Afterwards, feel free to enjoy lunch onsite and explore the Gardens together or at your own pace.
