Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park

7/19/2004 ... to Woodstock, VT and the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Site. Visited the Marsh-Billings farm, got apple and chips for “lunch”, walked around the farm buildings. Saw the dairy equipment shown on “Home Again” with Bob Vila. Very good museum of farm equipment, and saw barns with dairy cows and draft horses up close (horse over 2000 pounds!). Nice farm with sheep and cows. Walked over to the NHS side and went to the Carriage House visitor center to see exhibits on the three men who championed conservation and the farm economy.

After our photos of this nice mansion, as usual looking for good 360 and remote-triggered pair pictures, we continued ...
