January is a Winter Wonderland at Billings Farm

Woodstock, Vermont… Enjoy scenic winter landscapes among the barns and pastures of Billings Farm & Museum in January. Open each Saturday & Sunday from 10am-4pm, plus Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jan. 18, with engaging activities indoors and out for visitors of all ages.

Farm Animals & Winter Fun Visit the sheep, chickens and goats all cozy in the Small Animal Barn. Don snowshoes – bring your own or rent from the nearby Woodstock Inn & Resort’s Activity Center or the Nordic Center – and venture through the picturesque snow-covered farm fields and along the Ottauquechee River. Bring your sled to speed down the small hill next to the orchard. Gather round the fire pit and warm up with hot cider. Families can also enjoy a Story Walk along the pasture fence featuring “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost.

Take a Sleigh Ride Billings Farm & Museum offers horse-drawn sleigh rides to families (socially distanced) January 16, 17 and 18 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. for a fee in addition to general admission. Private sleigh rides are also available by reservation. Call 802-457-2355 for more information and to schedule your ride.

Vermont’s Rural History Explore the Farm Life Exhibits to see what life on the farm was like in the 1890’s and find the snowpeople hidden within the exhibits. Learn about the families and history of Billings Farm in our Upon This Land Exhibit. A Place in the Land, the Academy Award® – nominee film which chronicles the development of Billings Farm is shown throughout the day in the Visitor Center Theater. Guests are invited to view re-creations of both the Sitting and Dining Rooms from the 1890 Farm Manager’s House within the Activity Barn.
