A stay with Landmark isn't just good for your soul, it's good for the planet. Reusing historic buildings rather than letting them fall into decay or be demolished ensures the embodied carbon within the building material is not wasted, as it is the carbon extracted during construction that accounts for most of a building's lifetime environmental impact.

In addition, we compost at all properties and offer an EV charging station nearby at Scott Farm Orchard. All help keep our environmental impact as low as possible. So stay happy and breathe easy!

Through the generosity of The Windham Foundation and in partnership with Brattleboro Music Center, we commissioned a new piano composition by traveling composer-performer Ben Cosgrove inspired by our 1849 Dutton Farmhouse property and its iconic surroundings, including Scott Farm Orchard. Ben, whose music explores themes of landscape, place, and environment, performed two concerts in May 2026 - a house concert at Dutton and a larger public concert at BMC - featuring the piece.

Check out the full Brattleboro Community TV recording of the Dutton Farmhouse show and read Ben's essay about his composition on our new blog!

The rhododendrons are beautiful, indeed, but the best part of the Naulakha Estate & Rhododendron Tour + Cocktail Party are the people! Historic places come alive when they are filled people enjoying them. From near and far, new friends and old, the smiles at last weekend's event were the brightest part 😁

This Friday, May 29 at 7pm, we're so excited to be partnering with Brattleboro Music Center to bring Ben Cosgrove and his “beautiful and fascinating” (The Maine Edge) piano pieces to Brattleboro thanks to the support of The Windham Foundation.

Over the course of the last year, Ben has spent a night in every season at our Dutton Farmhouse property, an 1849 Greek Revival treasure overlooking Scott Farm Orchard. He has written a new piece of music inspired by the location that will be performed on Friday night! Cosgrove's music is all about landscape, environment, and the uniqueness of place. Seven Days has called his music “evocative and fully arresting… brim[ming] with technical mastery and emotions.”

Dutton Farmhouse is a very special place, Ben Cosgrove is a very special performer, and this will be a very special concert you will not want to miss!

The BMC presents “An Evening With Ben Cosgrove” on Friday, May 29 at 7 p.m. The concert will feature the traveling pianist-composer-performer whose music explores themes of landscape, place, and environment. The […]
