Darling House Museum

The Cow Barn on the property of the Darling Farmstead is now ready for a full debut, after an extensive preservation. Spring is a time that the first fresh grass ensure that cows will produce rich, nutritious milk. Farm animals give birth and pastures grow green. Our ancestors enjoyed this bounty in creamed dishes and milky soups or transformed the milk into butter, cheese and yogurt for longer preservation.&nbsp;In celebration, we will be enjoying Spring with "dairy" coming from our hearth.





In addition, visitors can&nbsp;take a look at our new, modern kitchen space, created to help us better serve our programming needs. We also put up new signs on the property to help passerbys learn about the farmstead and its history. 

We would like to thank the State Historic Preservation Office, the Town of Woodbridge and our donors for making the Cow Barn Preservation a reality. And for grants by Connecticut Humanities for our new kitchen, visitor bathroom and signage. 

So much to see! taste! and enjoy!

Join us for a day amongst community where we will intentionally sit with our childhood selves.This safe space will educate you on how your lived experiences guide us now, as caregivers or parents of young people and as caregivers to our younger selves that show up today.

During this gathering you will receive:&nbsp;<ul><li>A better understanding of how your lived experiences can inform your caregiving or parenting intentionally&nbsp;</li><li>Tangible practices on navigating conflict and centering autonomy within yourself and your caregiving/parenting</li><li>Moments to reflect on some of your lived experiences as a child&nbsp;</li><li>A chance to engage in fun and carefree activities and connect in community&nbsp;</li></ul>

You will have a chance to sit with your lived experiences as a child to intentionally inform your caregiving around respecting and supporting a child’s autonomy, and how to center your autonomy while caregiving.

With the support of an early childhood specialist we will create a space that is intentional and safe for the children who can attend while their caregivers are gathered and learning in community.
