Living History Farm Sites
The Littleton Museum has two living history farm sites. Kids and adults love these farms. Interpreters are dressed in period costumes and work on the farm, blacksmith shop, and the one-room schoolhouse.
One popular farm program is called “Sheep to Shawl,” which shows all the steps in turning wool from a live sheep into a shawl.
