Bayou Bend combines an American decorative-arts collection with formal gardens tucked into River Oaks. Inside Ima Hogg's former home, period rooms display furniture, paintings, silver, and ceramics; outside, terraces, fountains, statues, and carefully framed garden rooms turn the walk between house and grounds into part of the experience. Expect Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens to provide plenty to point at, talk about, and remember on the ride home.
