4th on the Farm
July 4, 2026, 10:00AM – 5:00PM
Gather your friends and family for a fun-filled July 4th on the Farm!
Celebrate America’s 250th birthday with horse-drawn wagon rides, ice cream-making, live music, historic “base ball”, and spelling bees.
Step back in time for a lively game of historic “base ball,” played by 1860 rules, complete with wood shaving baselines, straw-stuffed canvas bases, ash bat reproductions, and barehanded play. Join a team or cheer from the bleachers for this classic American pastime!
Word lovers can test their skills in youth and adult spelling bees with a fun 19th-century twist. Stroll the Farmstead Gardens, including the Victory Garden inspired by WWII-era efforts to encourage home gardening so food processing plants could support the war efforts.
Be sure to stop by the Farmhouse Scoop Shop for Vermont-made ice cream and snacks, the perfect summer treat!
Members enjoy free admission to this event and all year long! Not yet a member? Join today! billingsfarm.org/join/
