Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park Details
The Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park is a monument to conservationism: this 555-acre property near Woodstock, Vt., was the 1801 birthplace to early conservationist George Perkins Marsh, the home of reforestation and scientific farm-management pioneer Frederick Billings, and later the property of Laurance and Mary French Rockefeller, philanthropists who helped establish several U.S. National Parks. Museum exhibits, housed in an 1895 carriage barn, include information on conservation history. Visitors can also tour the 1805 Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller mansion, which includes a collection of landscape paintings that helped influence the conservation movement, and hike or cross-country ski on 20 miles of trails that pass through one of the nation's oldest managed forests.
