5.0 New England Falconry (62 reviews)
- Excellent experience!
Spent 1-2 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas

I was very satisfied with the experience my family had at New England Falconry in May 2022. My 11 y.o. daughter was thrilled at the up-close interactions with "Audubon" the Harris Hawk and "Alba" the Barn Owl. I wanted to give a particular shoutout to Jessica, the truly wonderful trainer who worked with us. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about the birds, but she was clear to understand and added humor to make the experience even more memorable. She was an absolute joy to work with!! See more..

The size and shape of Woodstock, Vermont, was quite different in 1886 when Frank Henry Gillingham opened his store that stood in the heart of this small New England town. Reverently the community has preserved the physical buildings and the spiritual essence of an earlier day. Located in the village center is F.H. Gillingham & Sons General Store. The faces of the townsfolk may have changed and the store’s inventory may have evolved, but the family running the store has remained the same. Today's owners are descendants of both F.H. Gillingham and Franklin Billings. Frank & Jireh Billings proudly carry on the family tradition that their great–grandfather started 132 years ago. See more..
