Woodstock is a quintessential Vemont town that attracts visitors from around the globe. This beauti-ful historic area in the Green Moun-tains of Windsor County is easily accessible from the interstates and part of the the Crossroads of Ver-mont Scenic Byway.

The Billings Farm and MBR National Park are both members of Vermont Attractions Association and icons of our working landscape located just outside the town center.

As our hosts and partners, these ven-ues provide an appealing backdrop. The ambiance of the Billings Farm loft and grounds are the perfect complement for fine furniture and wood products crafted in Vermont. Add to this the allure of fall foliage that attracts thousands of visitors, and you have a recipe for success! Take advantage of this opportunity to showcase your fine craftsmanship!

Visitors park at Billings Farm (with lots of space for tour busses too!) and are greeted by farm staff at the front desk. They can visit with our vendors and demonstrators who will be in the Visitor Center loft, the nearby barns, or on the farm lawn.

The scenic backdrop of the Farm along with live music provides a perfect accompaniment for shop-ping or watching demonstrations. Just across the street, visitors can enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides, forest walks, additional woodwork-ing demonstrations, make your own woodcrafting and other family activi-ties at Vermont’s only National Park. The National Park turns 100 in 2016 so there will be plenty of activities planned for this year’s Forest Festival.
