Family Sheep and Wool Celebration 

May 30, 2026, 10:00AM – 5:00PM

Celebrate all things sheep and wool with a weekend of family fun!

From fleece to fiber wonders, visitors of all ages will explore the steps of wool processing through hands-on activities and live demonstrations. Try interactive stations, from cleaning fleeces at the Skirting and Washing Stations to aligning fibers at the Carding Station. View dying demonstrations and admire a colorful display of dyed skeins of yarn showcased the final transformation of raw wool.

Enjoy drop spindle and wheel spinning demonstrations, create your own woolen bracelet to take home, discover fiber arts like felting, knitting, and crocheting, and watch live weaving on a loom. Younger visitors will enjoy Story Time and visitors of all ages will enjoy the Sheep Education Programs.

Adding to the excitement, the timeless art of sheep herding will come alive with Morse Brook Farm’s Shepherdess Liz Shaw and her skilled Border Collies. Learn how working dogs support life on the farm and watch them expertly guide the flock in live herding demonstrations.

Enjoy Vermont-made ice cream and snacks at the Farmhouse Scoop Shop! Before you head home, stop by the Museum Gift Shop for Vermont-made snacks, drinks, keepsakes, and adorable sheep stuffies to take home!
