Thomas-Wiley-Abbott Farmstead

Along Johnsonville Road in the Town of Pittstown, this 168.9-acre farm preserves a house and a group of agricultural buildings spanning roughly two centuries. The frame house grew in three stages: a modest center block from about 1790-1800, a larger Greek Revival south wing around 1840, and a kitchen wing added about 1870. Two nineteenth-century timber-frame barns form an L-shaped group with later cow barn and milk house additions. A workshop, garage, and a combined hen house and corn crib complete the contributing buildings, while a later pole barn does not contribute. Woodlots, fields, stone walls and a pond-fed stream remain part of the setting. The land was assembled from four lots of a colonial patent and sold to Jacob Lansing Abbott in 1840. The property was recognized as an intact and representative Pittstown farmstead, important for its architecture and its record of local agriculture through 1962.
