• Making ricotta cheese
• Meeting a sheep
• Making felted soap
• Tasting Sugar on Snow
• And more!

The Club is for children ages 6-10. Sign up for individual sessions or join us for the whole series.

Where: Billings Farm & Museum

When: Wednesday, February 9th 10:00-11:30AM

Solve the mystery of history and learn what life in Vermont was like long ago using photographs, letters, and objects from the past. We will examine special artifacts from our collections and the 1890 Farm Manager’s House and see what we can learn from historic photographs. Students will put on their “history detective” hats to examine primary sources for themselves and present their findings to the group.
