For Educators
An immersive place that inspires learners to think, explore, and feel.
At Billings Farm & Museum, we engage not only the mind, but also the heart. We believe learning is most meaningful when it inspires curiosity, critical thinking, and discovery. Through hands-on, experiential learning, our programs encourage wonder, problem-solving, and confidence to ask questions.
We believe learning is most meaningful when students can engage all their senses—seeing, touching, listening, and doing. When children actively participate, lessons move beyond the page and become experiences they remember long after their school days.
Learning comes to life on the farm.
Give students the opportunity to learn through hands-on experiences that spark curiosity, build connections, and bring Vermont’s agricultural and cultural heritage to live.
At Billings Farm & Museum, learning extends beyond the classroom and into the barns, pastures, gardens, and historic farmstead. Through immersive, hands-on experiences, students engage all their senses as they explore stories, skills, and traditions. Field trips invite students to meet farm animals, investigate historical artifacts, and practice traditional skills. These experiences build curiosity, confidence, and connection to each other, the land and the stories from the farm.
To schedule a field trip, please download and complete a Field Trip Request Form and email it to schoolgroups@billingsfarm.org. A completed request is required to finalize your reservation. The earliest available visit date is two weeks after we receive your request.
