Amos Brown House has some great availability in September and even into early October! This is some staff members' favorite Landmark property, sitting on 30 private acres in bucolic Whitingham, VT. September is a super underrated time to visit Vermont as summer turns to fall. Rates are lower, crowds are thinner, and the scenery is still stunning.

If peace and tranquility are what you're looking for, Amos Brown House is the perfect early Fall getaway!

Book a stay at the historic Amos Brown House in Whitingham, Vermont, which sleeps 6 guests and allows up to 2 dogs. Half an hour from the Marlboro Music Festival, half an hour from skiing and snowboarding at Mount Snow, and 20 minutes from the shops and restaurants of Wilmington. Hiking, bicycling,

Why have a normal vacation when you can have a historic one?

Rest (noun): peace of mind or spirit (i.e. vacationing in Vermont)

Sometimes you just need quiet. Sometimes your body just needs to s...l...o...w down. For windy back roads that meander, skies that go on forever, and a feeling that you're at home - whether you've ever been here or not -you'd be hard pressed to do better than our whole house overnight rentals in the quiet hills of Southern Vermont.

Summer time is painting time!

Naulakha Green, the distinctive original color of the buildings across the Naulakha estate, has been getting quite a workout! This rich color, which The Landmark Trust recreated from original paint samples when we acquired the property, was recently reapplied to the Kipling's Gazebo, which they referred to as their "Summer House" when it was located on the site now occupied by the pergola.

Combined with its new cedar shingle roof, the Gazebo is now looking much like it would have when the Kiplings enjoyed it in the 1890s!

We did it!! We launched the Naulakha Campaign in 2024 as a generational effort to support a sustainable future for our flagship property. With the incredible support of so many individual donors, grants, and many more, we have reached our fundraising goal of $1,250,000! Thank you!

The results are already being seen. The Naulakha Stable opened earlier this year to rave reviews, with nearly all guestbook entries noting its peacefulness and comfort. New cedar roofs have been installed on the Ice House and Summer House as well.

What's left? Work on the Pergola roof is scheduled for November and at Naulakha itself next Spring. Meanwhile, required archaeology has been completed and a team is in place for the comprehensive drainage solution to be implemented at the estate this Fall and next Spring.

We can still use your support! Any additional funds received for the campaign will go toward additional capital needs at Naulakha, including a historically sensitive HVAC solution.

Get a sneak peak into The Landmark Trust USA's exciting plans for the Naulakha Estate in 2025 to preserve its history, protect it from climate change, and enhance the public's experience of this treasured place.
