Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park
The Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park is located northwest of Woodstock village in Vermont and is the only park of the U.S. National Park System that is based within the state. The property is named in honor of its past owners who made it what it is today. Charles Marsh, a prominent Vermont lawyer, built the core of the main house in 1805 where he raised his family. His son followed his footsteps into law and politics and laid the foundations for the conservation movement in the United States with the 1864 publication of Man and Nature, or the Physical Geography as Modified by Human Behavior. In 1869 the 246 acre property was purchased by Frederick H. Billings who enlarged the main house and made it into the final Victorian style it has today. Simultaneously he established a managed forest and dairy farm. Billing's granddaughter Mary French Rockefeller and her husband Laurance Rockefeller eventually transferred ownership to the U.S. federal government in 1992 where the property was designated a National Historic Landmark.
