Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park Tours
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park was home to three generations of conservationists whose deep connection to this land fueled their lifelong dedication to conservation and land stewardship. Their work and advocacy played a pivotal role in the rise of the American Conservation Movement, establishment of the Vermont and U.S. Forest Services, and creation of our national parks. This ranger-guided tour invites you on an intimate journey through the landscape and home that inspired their conservation ethos and love for the natural world. The tour begins at the Carriage Barn Visitor Center. Time is split between the grounds and the interior of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller Mansion.
