The gable ends are going up, as well as initial framing for the garage. Bob continues his tour of historic Vermont, this time visiting The Billings Farm and Museum, the oldest operating farm in New England. It's original owners, Frederick Billings and George Marsh, are credited as founders of the environmental movement.
