Time Travel Tuesdays: Hands-on Discovery of the Past
Billings Farm & Museum, gateway to Vermont's rural heritage, announces a program designed for children and adults to discover 19th century chores and past times in the restored and furnished 1890 Farm House.
Time Travel Tuesdays will be offered each Tuesday this summer, from July 7 through August 25, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and will feature a hands-on experience of daily life in 1890. Visiting families can help prepare seasonal food in the kitchen, laundry, copying into ledger books in the farm office, churn butter in the creamery, and other chores. There will be time to relax in the sitting room with popular pastimes of the era — dominoes, tiddley winks, and the stereoscope, plus needlework, photo albums, and games.
The cost for Time Travel Tuesday is included with regular admission to the Farm & Museum and no pre-registration is necessary. For more information, please contact 802/457-2355 or by email: info@billingsfarm.org.
