If you can’t afford to head to Highclere castle, the real location where "Downton Abbey" is filmed, like George Clooney recently did - take heart. You can experience the beauty and grandeur of the series on American soil.

There are exhibits on the show that are being hosted at grand estates or museums that are as luxurious as manor houses allowing you to visit "Downton Abbey" in the U.S. Here is a snapshot of where they are:

Biltmore House, Ashville, NC
New exhibit: “Dressing Downton: Changing Fashion for Changing Times,”
February 5, 2015 - May 25, 2015 Tickets go on sale in July.

Forty costumes from the show will make their way to the famous Vanderbilt estate in time for the debut of season five. The exhibition will showcase the evolution of fashion during the time and what people wore at the estate depending on their social status.

According to the museum site, “costumes on display will range from country tweeds, to servants’ uniforms, to lavish gowns and evening attire cut from fine fabrics and decorated with intricate embroidery, lace and beading. The award-winning costumes, created by renowned London costume house Cosprop Ltd., were designed with inspiration from old photographs and historic patterns”.
