Step into the 1890 farmhouse and make yourself right at home.
Can you smell the biscuits in the oven? Feel the curve of the pump handle in your hand?
Don’t get too comfortable though, there’s work to be done.
Maybe the cows are ready for milking.
Or it’s time for butter-making in the creamery.
Could be there’s ripe tomatoes ready to pick in the heirloom garden. Or supper to cook on the kitchen’s grand black stove.
There’s always work to be done, but be sure to make time for a quiet moment to graze awhile and simply smell the sunsoaked grass.
Are you ready to receive visitors in the front parlor?
Or is it time for bed after a long day’s work?
Early to bed, early to rise is a way of life on the farm.
There’s so much to explore at Billings Farm and Museum in Woodstock, VT where blue skies and green pastures meet at the horizon and the rural history of Vermont is a just short walk back in time.
An interactive museum, the Billings Farm features films and exhibits on farming history, maple sugaring, ice cutting, and life in the farm community.
The farm animals befriend visitors right there at the pasture fence or back in the barns: draft horses, dairy cows, chickens, and sheep.
The 1890 Billings farm house offers you a home and hospitality from the past: the business end of farming and function in the farm office with its majestic standing desk, family living quarters, and the glorious pastoral views from every window.
Billings Farm is owned and operated by The Woodstock Foundation, Inc., a charitable nonprofit. An interactive museum and working dairy farm, be sure to try some of the Billings Farm cheddar cheese!
Open daily, May 1 through October 31, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
