Bandleader and ‘King of Jazz’ Paul Whiteman purchased the property in 1938 with his wife, silent film actress Margaret Livingston. The idyllic estate (then called Walking Horse Farm) played host to artists and musicians from New York and beyond, including Whiteman protégé Bing Crosby. 

Noted agriculturist and philanthropist Lloyd Wescott purchased the property form Whiteman in 1959, renaming it Hunterdon Hills. Among Wescott’s extensive legacy is the neighboring Wescott Nature Preserve, once a part of his own farmland. His brother, literary cult figure Glenway Wescott, lived in one of the property’s multiple historic buildings and enjoyed its proximity to Manhattan. 

Hunterdon Hills was renamed Tullamore Farms in 2000, with a focus on optimizing the property’s rich and varied terrain, promoting agritourism, and adopting organic practices. This transformation has led to options for organic certification upon filing with the USDA.
