Bristol, R.I. – Coggeshall Farm Museum is back to Thursday through Sunday hours of operation for the summer! Summer is an exciting time at Coggeshall Farm Museum. In June, there are many events for visitors and members of all ages to enjoy, including Free Town Fridays, kids gardening programs such as Roots & Shoots and Garden Buds, and American Folklore Weekend. Hope to see you there!
Events in June:
Coggeshall Farm Museum is offering free, standard, daytime admission for residents of specific towns near the museum! Because of the nature of the program, pre-registration is required for Free Town Fridays and all adults in the party must present proof of residency upon arrival at the Ticket Booth. The towns being featured in June are Bristol and Warren, RI, on June 17th, and Barrington, RI, on June 24th. For the full list of towns and to register, visit our website!
Included in standard admission, this weekend Coggeshall Farm Museum will be exploring American folk art and folklore stories of the 18th century, and how it has affected American art and culture today. Events include discussions about American Folk Art, Sea Shanties & Worksong, American Folk Heroes, New England Legends and Cryptids, and live storytelling of classic American folk stories such as Paul Bunyan.
Events in June specifically for kids:
In this recurring class series, preschool aged kids (2-5 years) and their adults will explore different aspects of the museum such as gardening or livestock, along with singing songs, listening to stories and playing games. Each class is different, so feel free to come to one or all! These classes are included in the standard price of admission.
Each week, kids of all ages will be able to help museum staff with tasks in the garden, including weeding, watering, planting, harvesting and composting! While doing these activities, kids will also learn about gardening and botany from both the 18th century and today. These sessions are included in the standard price of admissions.
Ticket Prices: $10 for adults, $5 for kids
