Billings Farm & Museum brings old-fashioned cheer to Woodstock, VT, with family-friendly festivities throughout the entire holiday season. Christmas at the Farm will be featured daily through Jan. 2, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm (closed December 24 & 25).

Festive holiday trees and decorations will fill the Visitor Center and historic barn.
