• Overview

Prescott Farm is a historic preservation of a colonial farm in Middletown (Newport County ), Rhode Island. It spans 40 acres, and was in danger of demolition before Doris Duke, through the Newport Restoration Foundation bought it in 1973 and began restoration of the historical site. Notable features of it include an operational windmill (c. 1811), British General Prescotts Guard House, a county store (c. 1715), and a University of Rhode Island Master Gardener project with the purpose of simulating a historical vegetable garden through careful research on what crops where grown during that time period . The farm itself is typical of the farms on Aquidneck Island.^[1]
