Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons below or hit me on venmo at @Rich-Monetti The Cows Come Home In 1878, Frederick Hopkins purchased the land that is now Muscoot Park.

Mother Sill’s Travel Remedy was used for motion sickness, and the acreage he bought served as a family farm and a summer retreat. The house that stands was moved in 1898 when the New Croton Dam was built, and in 1968, Westchester County purchased 777 acres of the property. For recreational purposes, the cows, pigs, goats, chicken and vegetable rows are meant to show what life was like at the turn of the 19th century.
