Billings Farm & Museum
Working Farm · Woodstock, Vermont
A working dairy farm and a restored 1890 farmhouse on the edge of Woodstock, on land Frederick Billings bought and rebuilt in the 1870s as a model farm - the agricultural half of the same argument the national park across Route 12 makes about forests. It keeps a Jersey herd, runs the farm as a farm rather than as a display, and interprets nineteenth-century Vermont rural life in the buildings around it. ⚠ It is a separate organisation from Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park opposite, with a separate ticket, and the two are confused constantly.

⚠ SEASONAL, with a defined main visiting season through the warmer months into autumn and a REDUCED, EVENT-BASED PATTERN through the colder months rather than daily hours - check the calendar before travelling out of season. A per-person admission covers the farm, the restored 1890 farm house and the exhibits, with reduced rates for children and seniors and free entry for members. ⚠ THIS IS A SEPARATE ORGANISATION AND A SEPARATE TICKET FROM MARSH-BILLINGS-ROCKEFELLER NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, 360 metres away across Vermont Route 12 - a combined arrangement has existed at times, so ask at the desk rather than assuming. Parking is free on site. ⚠ HARVEST WEEKEND IN OCTOBER IS THE BUSIEST DATE OF THE YEAR and Woodstock is already at capacity for foliage. Late winter brings maple sugaring, which is a much quieter visit. It is a working dairy and the herd takes precedence.
