Muscoot Farm on Route 100 in Somers, NY has received a Heritage Advocate Award, sponsored by Heritage Preservation and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The institution will receive $3,750 in recognition of outstanding projects that educated the public about the risks faced by collections and the importance of appropriate care to protect these treasures.
Muscoot Farm was originally a "Gentleman's Farm" founded by Ferdinand T. Hopkins in 1880 and operated as a dairy farm until Westchester County acquired the property in the late 1960s. Today, Muscoot Farm is a Westchester County Park that strives to preserve and interpret its agrarian past. Visitors may stroll through the original barns, visit with the animals, participate in educational programs or hike the many miles of trails. Admission is free to individuals and families.
