Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park Review
This 555-acre park is Vermont's only national park and the nation's first to focus on natural resource conservation and stewardship. The pristine and stunning park encompasses the forest lands planned by Frederick Billings according to Marsh's principles, as well as Frederick Billings's mansion, gardens, and carriage roads. The entire property was the gift of Laurance S. Rockefeller, who lived here with his late wife, Mary, Billings's granddaughter. You can learn more at the visitor center, tour the residential complex with a guide every hour on the hour, and explore the 20 mi;es of trails and old carriage roads that climb Mt. Tom.
