Opening Weekend for 2026 Season at Babbie Rural & Farm Learning Museum

May 16 - 17, 2026
10am-4 pm

Join us at 10 AM on Opening Morning, Saturday, May 16th, for the unveiling of two new murals created by regional artist Greg Badger. Immediately following the unveiling, we'll hold a ribbon-cutting and the Grand Opening of our nearly completed replica one-room schoolhouse.
​
From 11 AM to Noon, the Museum will host a community trivia game inside the new schoolhouse, featuring 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes for the top scores.

Food trucks will be on site both days:
◦ Saturday: Sloppy Dog (10 AM - 3:30 PM)
◦ Sunday: Adirondack Food Therapy (10 AM - 3:30 PM)

Browse handcrafted goods from local vendors set up across the Museum campus - find unique quilts, hats, handmade wooden items, fresh-baked scones and cookies, vintage treasures, and original art.

Throughout the weekend, enjoy plowing and planting demonstrations using antique farm equipment. Additional demonstrations will take place in the granary, blacksmith shop, and sawmill.

Kids can enjoy games with prizes, and families are invited to explore our new outdoor play area.
