For over 180 years, the Hills & Dales Estate has cultivated impressive gardens surrounding its Georgian Italian villa. Located about an hour north of Columbus, the living legacy of the 19th‑century Callaway family home and gardens continues to thrive and welcomes the public. In about two hours, guests can enjoy a guided tour of the house along with self‑guided walks through the pre‑Civil War gardens. Guided garden tours are also available with advanced notice.

The estate hosts signature events for the whole family, including picnics, storytelling festivals, children’s scavenger hunts, and seasonal Halloween and Christmas celebrations.

Group tours and specialty tours are available with advance reservations. Guests looking to experience the grandeur of an exquisitely preserved symbol of American prosperity will find Hills & Dales Estate an easy and enriching day trip from Columbus.
