Join us at Billings Farm for Father’s Day! Meet our farm animals. Tour the Farm Life exhibits. See the special exhibitions.

There will be a friendly, action-packed game of historic base ball at 2:00PM. Following rules from 1860, the game will be played on a field beyond the pastures with wood shaving baselines, canvas bases filled with straw, along with a metal pitcher’s plate and home plate. Players will use ash bat reproductions and follow the tradition of playing barehanded.

Visitors of all ages can join the team or grab some ice cream from the Farmhouse Scoop Shop and cheer from the bleachers for one of the original American pastimes. As a special Father’s Day treat Dads can enjoy a free scoop of ice cream! Father’s Day fun is included with admission.

"Billings Farm combines the history of Vermont Farming with live farm animals. It is great place to visit with kids to learn about farm life. It doesn't hurt that there are plenty of animals for kids to see and touch.

Be sure to check the daily schedule of activities. You can milk a cow, tour the gardens, check out the chickens and more. There are also regularly scheduled special events throughout the year.

There is a great museum store with lots of kids farming toys, books and more. Adjacent to the 1980's Farm House you will find the Dairy Bar offers ice cream and other snacks.

Worth noting, Billings is so close to the town of Woodstock you can easily visit both in one day. There are lots of shops and restaurants in town."
