Ever wonder what it was like to live in a different era? Through movies and books, we're able to get a glimpse of what life was like back then. But to get the first-hand experience, there's a farm you can visit in Woodstock that'll take you back in time.
The Billings Farm & Museum is home to a beautifully restored 1890 Farm Manager’s House.
It's as if it's been frozen in time.
In the kitchen, you'll find the cast-iron woodstove where the family’s meals were once prepared.
Butter used to be churned in the basement creamery and was sold to customers in Boston, New York, and other cities.
On certain days, the Learning Kitchen gives demonstrations on how the butter used to be churned in the 1800s.
There's even a general store that features items more than a hundred years old!
The items aren't available for purchase, but guests can take a look at them and see what everyday household items used to look like back in the day.
Take a horse-drawn wagon through the property and to the farm.
At the farm, meet some of the furry four-legged residents of the Billings property.
The farm is home 70 Jersey cows, five draft horses, and a flock of Southdown sheep. The fully functioning farm grows 90% of its animal feed and uses the milk from their cows to make 100% raw milk Billings Farm Cheddar Cheese.
