New England's National Historic Landmarks: Vermont


The National Register of Historic Places contains more than 85,000 sites, but only some 2,500 of them have been listed as National Historic Landmarks. New England is home to hundreds of these particularly significant structures, objects and places.

George Perkins Marsh Boyhood Home, Woodstock

This Queen Anne house, built in 1805 and enlarged several times, is significant as the boyhood home of conservationist George Perkins Marsh (1801–82), and as the home later in the 19th century of Frederick H. Billings (1823–90), a businessman and philanthropist.
