Bailiwick was a place of inspiration and rest for Liberty Hyde Bailey during some of his busiest years as founding Dean of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University, and into his retirement. He planted six or more orchards (specializing in apples, but also pears, peaches, plums, cherries, nectarines, melocotons), a vineyard, and several various crop fields (potatoes, beans, turnips, buckwheat, raspberries, muskmelons, squash, etc), and raised chickens and hogs, on the original farm property (Liberty Hyde Bailey Papers, #21-2-3342, Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library). As of 2019, a number of the trees from his orchards were still bearing fruit, on the Camp Comstock property, and others might remain in people's yards farther inland. The Bailey family's cottage still stands on the property and is rented out year-round.Collection
