Inscription.

Laurance and Mary Rockefeller embraced Woodstock and the
Vermont values reflected in its landscape and historic places.
Their vision and legacy of stewardship live on at the
Billings Farm, at its partner Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller
National Historical Park, and throughout the village they loved.

"The time is upon us and the opportunity is great-
not only for conservation of the land
but also for renewal of the human spirit."
-Laurance S. Rockefeller, 2001
