Marion Miles Remick Bird Walk
2026-05-23 11:00 - 12:00
During this guided walk, you’ll discover for yourself the Remick property’s vital role in the lives of migratory birds.
Marion Miles Remick (1906–1980) lived on this site from her marriage to Doc Remick in 1929 until her death. In addition to her interests in flower gardening, cats, and horse racing, Marion enjoyed birdwatching.
Marion’s interest in birding may have been encouraged by the grounds where she once lived, which provide a sweeping landscape and a variety of bird habitats, including forests, fields and open water. Avid birders have spotted at least 89 bird species on the Remick grounds — see a sample list on eBird. Learn more about Marion and the “birds of Remick” with your interpretive guide while enjoying the expansive property.
The anniversary of Marion’s birth takes place on May 28 — 120 years ago. This activity is one way we honor her contribution to our site’s history, often overshadowed by our wider story. While on-site, view a few of Marion’s birding items from the museum’s collection.
Activity length: 45–60 minutes.
Binoculars are recommended; dress for outdoor weather and changing conditions underfoot.
Terrain: gravel paths, uneven grassy fields and inclines.

School-to-Farm Day 2026 (Carroll County)
2026-05-28 09:30 - 13:30
Once again, New Hampshire Agriculture in the Classroom returns to Remick with its School-to-Farm Day for Carroll County! We look forward to welcoming this year’s local crop of fourth graders, who are eager to learn about various types and forms of agriculture in New Hampshire and how they impact their lives.
What are School-to-Farm Days?
As stated on the New Hampshire Agriculture in the Classroom website, “The event brings together 4th-grade students from different elementary schools throughout the county for a day of learning about the importance of agriculture. Farmers and other professionals are on hand to present mini-lessons and demonstrations on topics such as beekeeping, sheep raising, wool carding and spinning, dairy cows, oxen, maple sugaring, vegetable production, soil ecology, chickens and more. Students visit the stations, meet the experts, see the animals and experience a taste of farm life.” EVENT FLYER
Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm has been pleased to serve as the host site for this impactful event for several years. If you are interested in participating — whether as a class or a demonstrator, contact New Hampshire Agriculture in the Classroom to learn what’s possible. (This event is closed to the general public.)

THE MISSION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AGRICULTURE IN THE CLASSROOM
Our goal is to increase the agricultural literacy of New Hampshire’s youth. Educational materials help to integrate agriculture, food and natural resources into K-12 classrooms. By applying authentic agricultural examples to teach core curriculum concepts in science, social studies, math, language arts and nutrition, student awareness can be improved. These programs cultivate an understanding and appreciation of the food, fiber and fuel systems that we all depend upon every day.

Picnic-scapes: A celebration of picnicking!
2026-07-01 10:00 - 2026-07-31 15:00
During July — National Picnic Month — the Hearth Room at the Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm is home to a lighthearted exhibit of “Picnic-scapes”: creative interpretations of picnic scenes from the museum’s collection and local guest exhibitors.
The museum’s display, entitled “Doc & Marion on a Picnic,” features a picnic basket and picnic-related items from the Remick collection. Items in the exhibit belonged to the museum’s namesake country doctor, Dr. Edwin “Doc” C. Remick (1903-1993) and his wife, Marion Remick, née Miles (1906-1980). Visitors can learn what Doc Remick’s favorite picnic foods were, see the recipe for his favorite picnic cookie, and learn about sandwich trends from the 1950s. The modest living quarters the couple shared for 50 years, including the kitchen where Marion would have prepared their picnics, can also be visited (accessible by stairs only).
In addition, enlarged copies of summertime photos from the Remick collection are displayed on the walls. Visitors are encouraged to record their favorite picnicking spot, foods and memories at the “Food for Thought” table, and enjoy time at a picnic-themed coloring-page station.
This year’s local guest exhibitors include:
+ Arts Council of Tamworth
+ Barnstormers Theatre
+ Chocorua Lake Conservancy
+ Chocorua Public Library
+ Tamworth Community Nurse Association
+ Tamworth Parks and Recreation
Bring a picnic of your own to enjoy outdoors!
Picnics are always welcome at Remick, but during July, we especially invite you to celebrate the time-honored pastime of picnicking by bringing yours to the farmstead. Picnic tables are available on the museum grounds, located under a large tent and in the open air (the gazebo is temporarily closed). Pack-in/pack-out etiquette must be observed. Bottled water is available for sale in the store.

FREE Includes access to the Museum Center; donations gratefully accepted
For all ages, ages 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
For more information, call (603) 323-7591.
Closed July 4 and 11.
This exhibit is part of our Summer at the Farmstead schedule.

From previous years…
“On Father’s Day and Mother’s Day this year, we went on a picnic to Fullersburg in Hinsdale, Illinois. They were beautiful days to sit outside. While we didn’t make our sandwiches, we bought them from a favorite local shop! It is a great memory!” ~ Jess Landis, Chicago, IL
“On the rocks in the river, by the cave in the falls. Scotch eggs are a favorite.” ~ Janine Bryant, Acton, ME
“I love picnics. My favorite foods and things are apples, grapes, bread and ramen. And my cat, Gohan.” ~ Fae, Maine (young visitor)
“Picnics with my birth families in the country where we picked raspberries, or by the lake so the children could play. Good food and good times with family. ~ Diane
