FARM-FRESH DISCOVERIES
Late Summer on the Farm
JUNE 20–SEPTEMBER 21 | ACTIVITIES, TOURS & A DINNER
____________
Ahh... summer on the farm: bask in the fun!
The historic and agricultural uses, as well as the natural and picturesque landscape of our site, are at the heart of Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm. Whether through a guided activity or self-guided exploration, we seek to provide you with an enriching — and fun — experience.
This village farmstead was the location of the medical practice of Dr. Edwin Remick and his son, Dr. Edwin “Doc” Crafts Remick, from 1894–1993 (a combined 99 years!), as well as Doc Remick’s dairy farm, known as Hillsdale Farm (1934–1969). On the wishes of Doc Remick, the site opened as a museum in 1996, 28 years ago this year.

Tamworth has a wonderful farmers market.
