Billings Farm & Museum: A Delight in All Seasons

Posted in Museum News, Quilting at 12:58 pm by Administrator

If one wants to learn more about daily life on a farm, in the 1890s, there are few places to go. One of those is practically right in my back dooryard, in a manner of speaking.

The Billings Farm & Museum in Woodstock, Vermont, is well worth the trip!

There is an extensive article on our website. For now, I will provide this teaser: the photo of a Victorian Crazy Quilt Pillow (reproduction) that looks cheerful, and sits on a settee in the corner of the parlor of the 1890 farmhouse that was occupied by the farm manager and his family. If you have the chance to visit the farm, please do. You’ll be so glad you did!
