Very interesting farm
Not our typical place to visit as tourists, but we found this so fun and interesting! We toured the house, sat through a talk about the chickens, walked around the flower and vegetable gardens, learned about the cows from the staff in the barn, and got to pet some of the calves. There was also a good exhibit about the history and life in the area. Good snack food options. Plan for several hours. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Place in Every Way!
The Billings Farm and Museum is absolutely gorgeous and was the highlight of our visit to the Woodstock area. We loved everything about it, from the small animal barn where we petted the sheep and goats, to the history museum that explained the background of the property and its owners, to the farm manager's home built in 1890 which was incredibly modern for its time, especially fascinating. There is so much to see and do here that you could easily spend most of a day here. Part of the museum is an indoor re-creation of a farm home and general store, all very informative of what life was like here in the late 1800s. Many wonderful historic photographs of the farm and its workers and livestock are on display. The gift shop is also very appealing. It was snowy and about ten degrees the day we visited; it would be great to visit again in the warm weather, particularly because the dairy barn was closed to visitors when we visited and that is said to be a star attraction.
