spectacular setting with breathtaking views of the Battenkill
Valley and the Green Mountains, a patio and porch inviting you
to relax and renew, classical music in the background, a place
so serene that once you pass through the antique wrought-iron
gates and enter the front door, you will never want to leave.
Dating back to 1764 and listed on the Register of Historic
Places, this handsome Federal mansion is perfectly nestled in
a rolling valley cradled by beautiful mountains. Named for

Revolutionary War. Later, Ormsby Hill was honored to welcome
Robert Todd Lincoln, President Howard Taft and Ulysses S.
Grant.
