Complete information about visiting Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park is now on National Park Planner!
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, Vermont, is the only National Park dedicated to conservation, and the only National Park in Vermont. In 1992, Lawrence and Mary Rockefeller donated their mansion and 550 acres that included Mount Tom to the federal government for creation of Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park; the park opened in 1998. Nearly all of this remains forested land that is crisscrossed by twenty miles of hiking trails and ten miles of carriage roads, all of which are available to the public for hiking and horseback riding in the spring, summer, and fall, and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. The inside of the Billings Mansion can be seen on Ranger-guided tours.
Adjacent to the park is the Billings Farm and Museum. While not technically part of the National Historical Park, it is a National Park Service partner, and in truth, it’s probably the most interesting attraction in the area. The farm is a popular place for families, as there are all sorts of farming demonstrations and animals. The 1890 farm manager’s house is open for self-guided tours, plus there is an excellent museum dedicated to farm life in Vermont in the late 1800s.
