Located about two miles (3.2 km) west of downtown Concord, the farm is now owned by the state, but includes a number of historically significant buildings, and is one of the largest open space areas in the city near its downtown.

[1] The farm was established in 1846 by Nathaniel White, who became prominent in state politics, running for governor under the banner of the Prohibition Party.

White also operated the first stagecoach service between Concord and Hanover, and was active in the Underground Railroad.

[2] The farm is now 136 acres (55 ha) in size, bounded on the south by Clinton Street and the west by the Turkey River.

It includes White's 1846 Greek Revival house, which was extended with an addition late in the 19th century, a complex of 19th-century barns, and two smaller Greek Revival houses at 148 and 152 Clinton Street, which were probably farm manager residences.
