Draft Animal Day

Head to the Farm for a day celebrating the gentle giants, featuring local teamsters with their draft horses, working steers, and oxen.

• Learn all about these powerful animals and the work they do on the farm through plowing and demonstrations and exhibits.
• Visitors are invited to try their hand at plowing with a team of draft horses.
• Sample Shoofly Pie and Switchel in the Learning Kitchen and take home the recipes.
• Kids can race a hobby horse around our lawn and win a ribbon!
• Families activities and crafts include making a clothespin horse and the reading of Huck’s Way Home, the story of Billings Farm’s runaway steer!

In celebration of Mother’s Day, mothers receive free admission!
