Walking through the Hoofprints of History
PLEASE NOTE THE SECRETARIAT TOURS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS
Visitors to Secretariat's birthplace can truly walk in the hoofprints of history on land where the immortal Triple Crown champion first galloped. Points of interest are:
- The original foaling shed where Secretariat was born March 30, 1970, and the yearling, stallion and training barns built in the 1930s
- The Cove, where the Meadow mares and foals grazed
- Meadow Hall mansion with galleries of framed photos depicting the history of the farm and Secretariat’s Triple Crown races, along with Meadow Stable memorabilia
- Secretariat stride markers showing his 25-foot racing stride
- A horse cemetery where Meadow Stable champions Imperatrice, Hill Prince and Sun Beau are buried
- The historic cemetery on the front lawn of the mansion, marked with a memorial plaque in honor of the Morris family who founded The Meadow in 1805; their descendant Christopher Chenery would establish Meadow Stable in 1936 here at his ancestral homeplace.
