A visit to Billings Farm & Museum

Billings Farm & Museum

A pleasant half-mile stroll from the Woodstock Inn, Billings Farm & Museum is an ideal way to experience the spirit of rural Vermont. Meet prize-winning Jersey dairy cows, draft horses, Southdown sheep, and heritage chickens and sample Billings Farm’s own 100% raw-milk cheddar cheese. Explore the carefully-restored 1890 Farm House and learn how the farm operated a century ago. During the warmer months, wander the heirloom garden, apple orchard, and cornfields along the river, and unwind on the dairy bar terrace with a Vermont-made ice cream; a winter visit may feature horse-drawn sleigh rides through snowy farm fields. Stay and watch the daily afternoon milking at 3:30. The museum features interactive programs, award-winning historical exhibits, and seasonal events.  Admission to the Billings Farm & Museum is included for Woodstock Inn & Resort guests.
