Located in the historic town of Bristol, the Coggeshall Farm Museum is a working farm that offers unique ways to explore 18th-century farm life. Forty-eight acres of woodland, open fields, and salt marsh characterize the farm. There are a variety of programs designed to entertain every age. Preschool-aged children will love the “Story Walk”.

Giant storybook pages from the fictional book “Hard Scrabble Harvest” meander through the farm’s various settings, narrated by a guide in character.

Older youth and teens will enjoy learning how to make candles and lip balm, or how to compete in garden meadow games. Practical skills like wood processing, feeding animals, collecting eggs, milking, and spinning wool are also taught. Hours vary by season.
