Its lands area combination of open fields and woodland, with the cluster of farm buildings set around the junction of Upland and Crossman Roads.

The history of these farm properties dates to the early 18th century, and the earliest period of New Milford's settlement. Daniel Hine, a native Milford, settled in New Milford in 1737, and soon had a farm established here. Abel Buckingham began farming land adjacent to Hines's in 1775. The oldest of the three surviving houses was built about 1760 by Daniel Hines. By the mid-19th century, both families were engaged in dairy farming, sending their products to market via the Housatonic Railroad. The Hines farm was sold out of the family in 1908, while that of the Buckinghams remained in that family until 1972, when it was sold to the Hendersons. The Hines farm was purchased by the Hendersons in 1968, [2] and the combined property was adapted by them to its present use as a culinary school and arts center.
