Muscoot Farm was originally a "Gentleman's Farm" owned by the Hopkins Family and used as their summer estate and dairy farm from 1880 to 1924. In 1924 the family moved to the farm year-round and continued the dairy business until 1967 when Westchester County acquired the property.
Today, Muscoot Farm is a Westchester County Park that preserves some of the agricultural history of this county. Visitors can stroll through the original barns visiting with the animals, participate in educational programs and take longer hikes on over seven miles of trails. Muscoot really has something for everyone!
