3 reviews for Billings Farm & Museum
Very cool to go to especially if you are not all that familiar with dairy farming. THe people working there make it a top notch place to go to learn about the farming process and a bit about late 19th century history in the house tour and the museum. It wasn't crowded when we went - we got to talk with a gentleman who knew a whole lot about cows and showed us a ton - saw cows in the milk line, also saw newborn calfs which was really cool - they also have horses, chickens and sheep, so it'd be fun for little kids to see. The museum above the visitor's center had literally no one in it, but I found some good stuff up there as well
Definitely a place to spend a few hours on a nice day - worth the 11 bucks to get in
If you are traveling along Route 4 and you happen to stumble upon Billings Farm, you could stop in and think you are in fr a good time. What it really amounts to is a working farm, that is more for kids than anything. Aside from the Rockefeller house with not much in it besides art, there is not much here and even on harvest festival days, it is pretty dull for the 11 bucks a prson you are shelling out. I would skip this more "tourist trap" and try going to one of the Brewery tours or something more worth while. This place is not much more than a dull time.

Another hidden gem of Woodstock. Sometimes it can be busy on the weekends, but it is still a great place to visit. I have only gone once during Wassail weekend. They have a great museum that gives an extremely detailed history of the farm. The best part was taking a gander at the livestock. Though the farm is very much an attraction it is still a working farm, so there are always a lot of things happening at once.
If you go be sure to get a gander at the draft horses - they are by far the biggest horse I have seen - they make the Anheuser Busch Clydesdale's look like seeing eye ponies.
