Most older houses have a dedicated valve on the interior side of each sill cock, often in the basement ceiling near where the pipe passes through the rim joist. Frost-free hydrants skip that valve, but they only drain properly with the hose disconnected. If you cannot find an interior valve, the main is the fallback.

Close the main shutoff before anything thaws, because a frozen section that has already split will pour once the ice lets go. Leave a faucet open so pressure has somewhere to escape. Then get a plumber looking at the frozen run rather than warming it blind.

It is common on gate valves that have sat untouched for decades, since the stem corrodes in place and the handle can shear off under force. Forcing it is how a slow problem becomes a flood. A plumber can put in a quarter-turn ball valve, which stays workable and gives you a clear open or closed position.

The property owner is responsible for the lateral from the house out to the main in nearly every community around here, including the section under the road in some of them. That means root intrusion or a collapsed clay section is a homeowner repair. Village rules vary, so a house in Andes and one in Margaretville can face different obligations.
