Featured in Forest Festival Witness Tree Exhibition 2022 at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, Vermont.
This stool discusses the connection between man and nature. After Frederick Billings purchased the Marsh- Billings- Rockefeller National Historical Park from George Perkins Marsh in 1869, Billings managed the forest with the latest scientific technique and replanted the landscape. Billings eventually built a manmade pond, The Pogue, to create picturesque scenery and provide fresh water for his mansion inhabitants. As time passes, under the National Park Service management, the Pogue now offers a diversity of habitats for wildlife such as fish, turtles, frogs, and ducks.
