With such a beautiful surrounding area and a lot of gorgeous shops in the area finding shops in Woodstock VT is always fun to do, it is hard not to want to go all over Woodstock. If you are bringing kids with you there are still ample things to do, one of which is the Billings Farm & Museum. This is a farm that lets you get up close and personal with a wide variety of animals. Right across from Billings Farm is the Billings Rockefeller National Historical Park. If you are visiting during warmer months you can take a horse carriage tour of Woodstock and if you are visiting in the cooler months you can take a horse-drawn sleigh. If you love the sledding theme there is also a dog sledding adventure that you can take! But if you are curious about what events are going on if you stop by the Town Crier, a large chalkboard that lists all of the Woodstock events and happenings. You can find out what’s going on during your stay. If you have a craving for cheese or maple syrup then one place you should be adding to your itinerary is that of the Sugarbush farm, which also has nature trails and farm animals.
