The Hunt Hill Farm property encompasses two family farms (originally belonging to the Hine and Buckingham families) established in the mid 18th century. The historic resources of the two farms were built primarily between about 1760 and 1940. Per the NRHP listing form, the farms represent "...a highly significant and cohesive rural landscape...distinguished by an exceptionally complete collection of vernacular farm architecture historically associated with the nineteenth-century development of dairying in the western hills of Connecticut." Beginning in 1972, the two properties combined into the single ownership of pianist, conductor and composer Skitch Henderson. Henderson and his wife went on to establish a renowned culinary school and arts center on the property. After Skitch Henderson's death in 2005, much of the farmland was placed into conservation, while The Silo at Hunt Hill Farm still operates the culinary school and arts center at the main farmstead.
