A branch railroad was constructed
connecting with the Woodstock X. X.
Co.'S line enabling people to be carried
tothe very gates, This line is owned and
operated by the Playground X. X. Co.
and gives eminent satisfaction.
Trains run over this road every fifteen
minutes during the Fair
The Park is easily reached by three
carriage roads entering the grounds at as
many gates.
Taking everything into consideration
with its setting of noble hills on either
side, Ascutney Mountain to the south
and the Connecticut Valley winding
among the hills to the east, this is one of
the most beautiful places to be found in
Northern New England, thus man and
nature have combined their efforts and
the result is that, in every particular
Billings Park is one of the best equipped
