OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II, FARM

DOYLESTOWN, PA

Oscar Hammerstein II, the renowned lyricist and librettist, owned a farm in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The farm was situated on a sprawling 200-acre plot of land and was a hub of activity for Hammerstein's creative endeavors. Hammerstein had a deep love for farming and would often spend his free time tending to the land and animals.

The farm was equipped with a state-of-the-art dairy operation, which produced milk that was sold to local creameries. Hammerstein also raised beef cattle, pigs, and chickens on the farm. In addition to farming, Hammerstein used the farm as a retreat to work on his musical productions. The farm's barn was converted into a theater where Hammerstein would rehearse his shows with his collaborators.

The farm's idyllic setting provided Hammerstein with the inspiration he needed to pen some of his most famous works, including "Oklahoma!," "Carousel," and "The Sound of Music." Visitors to the farm could often find Hammerstein strolling through the fields, humming a tune or jotting down lyrics.

Today, the Hammerstein farm has been preserved as a historical site and is open to visitors who wish to explore the life and work of one of America's most celebrated lyricists.
