July 4 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Gather your friends and family for a fun-filled July 4th on the Farm at Billings Farm & Museum. Celebrate with horse-drawn wagon rides, ice cream-making, live music, historic “base ball”, and more from 10:00AM – 5:00PM.

At 2:00PM, step back in time for a friendly, action-packed 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 the game or cheer from the bleachers!

Word lovers can put their skills to the test in youth and adult spelling bees with a 19th-century twist.

Take a stroll through the Farmstead Gardens, which feature a Victory Garden, a WWII-era initiative to promote home gardening so food processing plants could be repurposed for the war efforts.

Live music by the Rose Hip Jam Band from 11:00AM – 1:00PM will add to the celebration with Vermont-made ice cream and snacks available for purchase at the Farmhouse Scoop Shop.
